Post European Council Meeting: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2026-01-14
============================================================

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (SF), Donegal

Where is climate change, climate justice, the green economy and all the other areas where we play by the rules? There are double standards when it comes to doing trade and commerce.
I endorse everything Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett said.
It is utter hypocrisy. The world rules of engagement, be they on human rights, basic decency or trade and commerce, mean nothing because the leadership of the European Commission is utterly incapable of doing what is right by people across Europe and the world.
