Today on #EqualPayDay, women earn on average 16% less than men. Written in the European Treaties 60 years ago, equal pay for equal work is still not a reality. That's why I will table measures to introduce binding paytransparency measures. We must give women and men equal rights!

The mission given to us by the young people protesting on the streets today is crystal clear: It is our responsibility to fight #climatechange and pass on to them a liveable planet. #StateofEurope2019

I think the private sector in Ireland is perhaps often too quick to knock the public sector Perhaps the most globally successful Irish brand created in the last decade was created by a small, fast moving team of public servants The brand is Wild Atlantic Way

Meeting the incoming Stena from Cherbourg is always a joy but tinged with sadness today as the fabulous RíRá didn’t make it having succumbed yesterday to a serious medical condition. Brave dog that he was he had breakfast in Paris yesterday. We are so going to miss him.
