Address to Seanad Éireann by Members of the European Parliament
Seanad Éireann — 2026-02-18
============================================================

Maria Byrne (CC), Agricultural Panel

I thank the five MEPs for their hard work and dedication since they were elected. Many have been in the European Parliament for a number of years. I thank them for coming here this evening to share their experiences and thoughts with us. They all gave a very balanced view as to what their own thoughts are and the work in which they are interested. The Presidency of the EU is going to be an exciting time for Ireland. I thank the MEPs and wish them the best of luck in the work they are doing on behalf of all of us.
