“If we adopted Sinn Féin’s approach, we wouldn’t have been able to put money back in peoples pockets”

My clear priority is the safety and wellbeing of all Irish citizens involved.

Officials from my Department, including staff at our Embassy in Athens, have been engaging with the relevant authorities and stand ready to provide consular assistance to any Irish citizens arriving in Greece as a result of these developments.

I condemn the seizure of vessels participating in the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters off the coast of Greece.

Very pleased to meet with @hilarybennmp & @Matthew_Patrick, together with @OCallaghanJim, for British-Irish Intergovernmental Conference and very productive discussions on legacy, political stability, security & Ireland-UK cooperation

A special day at McKee Barracks celebrating 100 years of the Army Equitation School 🐎 For a century, the School has represented Ireland with excellence and distinction across the world, proud reflection of the professionalism, discipline and service of our Defence Forces.

I wrote in today’s Belfast Telegraph about the real progress made by the Irish and British Governments on legacy issues, and why it’s vital we keep up the pace. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/irish-and…

Great to be in @DkIT_ie for a Q&A on Ireland’s EU Presidency. A thoughtful and engaging discussion. As we prepare for Ireland’s EU Presidency, students’ perspectives have never been more important. 🇪🇺🇮🇪

Fine Gael's priority in the next Budget is the people who work hard and do the right thing. They should have the opportunity to get ahead, not just get by.

It’s official: 7,856 new homes were completed in the first three months of the year.

Aiken Barracks yesterday for the opening of a new Defence Forces dining facility - a €5.6m investment supporting our personnel and improving day to day conditions. An important step in upgrading Defence Forces infrastructure.

Great to see today’s decision to allow Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland support companies in defence & dual-use sectors. An important step to remove barriers and help Irish businesses compete in growing EU opportunities.

We must ensure Galway West has a strong, experienced, and effective voice in the Dáil. Someone who will be taken seriously by Government and influence decisions. That’s why Seán Kyne is asking for your No.1 vote on May 22.

💬Today we discussed mainly Ireland’s upcoming Presidency of the Council of the European Union, which begins on 1 July. I welcome the fact that security is once again one of the Presidency’s priorities. We share a common assessment of the current situation. | Deputy PM, Minister for Foreign Affairs @sikorskiradek during a press conference following a meeting with the Minister for Foreign Affairs 🇮🇪 @HMcEntee
