Accurate assessment. This madness must stop. More international pressure needed for a ceasefire! @UN @EU_Commission

There is a name for this. It is called collective punishment and it is a clear violation of international humanitarian law.

The EU is gravely concerned by the draft Israeli bill on @UNRWA , which would have disastrous consequences. The EU strongly supports UNSG @AntonioGuterres ’ call, and urges Israel to ensure that UNRWA is allowed to continue carrying out its crucial work.

Ireland beat the US to make it two wins from three games in their WXV1 campaign. A year ago, they were playing Kazakhstan and Colombia in WXV3. They've beaten Australia, New Zealand, and the USA in recent weeks. Remarkable transformation.

The EU needs to strengthen its voice on the need to protect peacekeepers. IDF shelling @UN peacekeepers is never acceptable and should galvanise a clear & strong response from P5 members of the UN Security Council.

Another line has been dangerously crossed in Lebanon: IDF shelling of @UN peacekeepers whose positions are known. We condemn this inadmissible act, for which there is no justification. The EU reiterates its full support to @UNIFIL_ , to its UNSC-mandated mission & its troops.

Ireland is a leader in wind-powered electricity generation. We've made fantastic progress over the past 20 years and more than 35% of our electricity is now wind powered. 🌬️🇮🇪 Can we catch European leader Denmark that is already at 60%? #PositiveIreland

Youth unemployment in Ireland is amongst the lowest in Europe. 🇮🇪🇪🇺 10.8% of those aged 15-24 who are in the workforce are without a job. Amongst western European countries, only the young people of Germany and Netherlands have better employment prospects.

Stark, accurate warning that needs to be listened to across EU. Innovation, Start-ups, R&D, business growth, New Industry & New Tech development must all be a priority for EU or our competitors will leave us behind. Macron has a partner in #Ireland .

macron issues stark warning about eu falling behind the us and china “the eu could die” he said “our former model is over. we are over-regulating and under-investing. in the two to three years to come, if we follow our classical agenda we will be out of the market.”
