Address to Seanad Éireann by Members of the European Parliament
Seanad Éireann — 2022-09-20
============================================================

Barry Ward (FG), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I welcome three of our four MEPs. I am always heartened by the fact that 50% of the Dublin MEPs are former Dún Laoghaire Deputies. It shows the importance of that constituency in leading the debate in the European Union. I welcome Ms Frances Fitzgerald, a former Tánaiste and Minister for Justice. I am very proud of the fact that we send very high-calibre representatives to the European Union. I am, however, disappointed that the fourth MEP has, presumably, chosen not to be here. I believe this is very disappointing. There are definitely issues that I wanted to raise with Clare Daly, MEP.
