What an incredible experience visiting the Christ the Redeemer statue, a true global landmark, and then seeing it illuminated in green for St Patrick’s Day to celebrate the growing friendship and economic ties between Brazil and Ireland. A really special moment to witness 🇮🇪🇧🇷

I’m delighted to today announce €633 million for nations roads. This will protect and renew our existing road network and progress major new road projects. This will improve regional connectivity, support economic development and remove traffic from towns and communities.
