Had warm & wide-ranging chat with @ep_president Roberta Metsola today. We discussed Ireland’s plans for EU Presidency & the relationship between Ireland & Malta.
We’re not the same political colour but I have a lot of respect for Roberta. She’s an excellent chair & generous with her time. 🇮🇪🇪🇺🇲🇹

“Israel demands the rejection of a Palestinian state - which is why we must stand for it & lead international isolation of Israel until that happens.”
Europe must fight for a two state solution that ends apartheid & genocide in Palestine.

On International Tenants’ Day, I’m fighting to protect renters in Dublin, Ireland and across Europe in the EU Housing report.
While I table amendments, I need your support to end Ireland’s reputation as the lost country for tenant rights.

Another record number of homeless Dublin children last month.
3,813 childhoods lost to insecurity, uncertainty and humiliation.

Devastating to hear of passing of Mark O’Connor with his wife & son in Co Louth.
Mark was outstanding advocate for improved autism services and spoke at number of meetings we organised in Dublin over the years.
My deepest condolences to his family and all who were touched by his life and advocacy.

With 4000 kids sleeping in homeless accommodation tonight, we can’t have a scenario where we have families living in hotels and tourists living in houses.
I was on Drivetime this evening to discuss the issue of short term rentals & other housing matters.

Breaking: Interns can’t survive on coffee & ‘experience’. Their landlords don’t accept CV lines as rent.
Too many young people are stuck in unpaid & exploitative internships.
On Tuesday I voted for a Directive that prevents these abusive practices & guarantees interns fair pay & fair treatment.

Ireland has some of the highest drug use and overdose rates in Europe - our outdated drug policy is failing.
But the EU is moving forward 🇪🇺
Yesterday I convened the first meeting of a new European Parliament group on drug policy.

Our vision for Europe has to go beyond damage control.
Yes, we avoided a trade war. But at what cost? This deal poses huge risks for workers, consumers, and the planet.
We need a Union that puts our people at the core of every EU trade deal, law & policy.

Dublin needs a directly elected Mayor like London, New York & Limerick.
The Programme for Government commits to consideration of a plebiscite in Dublin for the establishment of the office.
It can easily happen on the same day as the Presidential election.
Let’s make it happen #FORTHELOVEOFDUBLIN

Tonight Dublin City Council has a chance to secure some of the vital extra resources our city desperately needs. And to ensure that those who have the most, pay the most.
I was delighted to hear Darragh Moriarty strongly defend the need for greater investment in our city today on Morning Ireland.

Respectfully High Representative Kallas, I think you should study up on Irish history before lecturing us on our experience of oppression.
I rose today in the European Parliament chamber to explain to her why that experience has led to our solidarity with Palestine.
