Visit of Finnish Delegation
Seanad Éireann — 2025-10-22
============================================================

Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

Before I call the next speaker, I welcome the Speaker of the Parliament of Finland. He is most welcome. I thank him for coming to Seanad Éireann today. He is joined by his ambassador and MPs [ Mikko Savola ] and [ Jenna Simula ]. They are most welcome. We had a great discussion on the importance of working together in the EU, recognising the immediate threat to Finland from its nearest neighbour, Russia, and how we should all work together in the EU to ensure that threat does not impinge on Finland’s security or sovereignty. We look forward to working with the delegates in the months and years ahead.
