- Pre-European Council: Statements (26 Jun 2024)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I will try to address the issues Deputies have raised, perhaps beginning with Deputy Canney as he is here and has just spoken. While I agree with Deputy Canney's perspective about rural Ireland being reflected in the European Union, I remind him that it is the sons and daughters of rural Ireland who are representing Ireland in the political institutions in Europe. It is the sons and...
- Pre-European Council: Statements (26 Jun 2024)
Catherine Connolly: I welcome the opportunity to take part in this discussion. I start with Ireland's recognition of the State of Palestine on 22 May, which was very welcome. I do not see that reflected here. There is nothing on the follow-up and the steps we need to take in any of the seven items listed on the agenda. I would have thought the EU-Israel trade agreement would have been top of the list when it...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I cannot do anything about it. We have raised it with Europe.
- Pre-European Council: Statements (26 Jun 2024)
Catherine Connolly: All I can do is try to use my time to highlight that as a committed European who believes in the European project, but not in the context of the direction in which it is going. It lost its moral compass a long time ago. We are heading for a militarised Europe and a fortress Europe. I say that reluctantly because I have very good contact with some of the countries in Europe. We have very...
- Pre-European Council: Statements (26 Jun 2024)
Seán Canney: I, too, welcome the opportunity to speak. In the aftermath of the elections, when we have MEPs going over to Europe to represent Ireland, it is important we reflect on where we are going in Europe and what we are doing. As Deputy Connolly stated, one of the items on the agenda is world security, but it is world peace we should be looking for. The world is at a point such that we are on the...
- Pre-European Council: Statements (26 Jun 2024)
Gary Gannon: These pre-European Council statements begin at a time when we have nominated a new EU Commissioner, the Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael McGrath. I wish him all the best. We are told that this week is a big week because this is when all of the negotiations and backroom dealing starts. I have heard it reported many times in the media and elsewhere that Ireland hopes to get one of those...
