We had a ball at the Ploughing in Tullamore - thank you for your courtesy @independent.ie @irishtimes.com @irishexaminer.bsky.social

I’m standing up for farmers in the European Parliament and looking forward to meeting you next week at the National Ploughing Championships in Tullamore . Join us

At the weekend I met a farmer in Abbeyleix who told me the next CAP package would be the last one for small farmers in the midlands and north west : I told him we can’t allow that to happen and today I received support for the same view when I spoke in the @EuropeanParliament Agri committee

Can Emergency legislation solve the housing crisis ? I invited Professor Padraic Kenna who lectures in land law, housing law and policy and housing rights, at University of Galway to come before the housing committee in the European Parliament and asked him for some practical advice on this …

The war in Ukraine rages on and , while an Irish mother grieves the loss of her son, the @Europeancommission should be moving to seize over 200 Billion in Russian assets : “Hit them where it hurts.” @Reuters

The suggestion by European Commission President Ursula von der leyen that Israel could in any way be allowed to behave like they have done in Gaza and Iran in the name of “self-defence” is just despicable I told @kajakallas in the plenary session of the @Europarl_ENon Strasbourg today

The road to Brussels: A flavour of the networking we do to work with colleagues from all over Europe who are backing our opposition to the Mercosur trade deal and much more in the European Parliament ….more behind the scenes footage in the week coming up

Meeting and engaging / fighting my corner for the people
of
Midlands North West - starting on Monday

thankfully my constituents disagree: Doing nothing is not an option - today they told me “keep doing what you’re doing Ciaran - make it stop !”

After a busy week : one common theme of reaction from my constituency today: these are just some of the 100,000 people who gave me my mandate - ‘keep doing what you’re doing Ciaran and make it stop’ #GazaGenocide

The housing crisis now needs emergency planning measures: Local
authorities must move to village clusters and allow one-off housing applications when applicants are building on their parents’ land. As Vice Chair of the @Europarl_EN Housing committee I will push for policy change

Let this message be clear: Irish farmers are NOT interested in temporary compensation from
the unfair @EU_Commission Mercosur trade deal - they want to hold onto their multi million € markets for beef and white meat in Europe and won’t be giving it away to South America #Mercursor

“I want to support the social and economic development of Galway City - that’s why I support the EU Leader companies in the great
work they do in the midlands , north east , west and the north west . Recently the CEO of Galway City Partnership Linda Sice Brogan came to
meet me in Brussels

Meeting farmers from
all over the country today to discuss huge losses in forestry after storm Eowyn ….

Housing crisis in Kildare …. I want to thank everyone who contributed to a very powerful discussion in Naas county Kildare over the last few days on the housing crisis and its effect on the people of the area. I will take on board the proposals and suggestions that came back to me from 56 groups ..

From everyone in our house to everyone in your house on xmas day 2025…
