Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements
Dail Éireann — 2026-06-16
============================================================

Shay Brennan (FF), Dublin Rathdown

Ireland takes the chair of the 2028-2034 MFF negotiations in July. This is a pivotal period in these complex and highly consequential negotiations. Delivering a finalised agreement within our term would be of significant reputational benefit for Ireland. Will the Taoiseach give an assessment of the prospects for achieving that and outline what he sees as the key pitfalls and opportunities for Ireland in holding the chair at this pivotal moment?
