Seven 🇮🇪 MEPs have today submitted a question to the @EU_Commission asking them to evaluate the legality of 🇩🇪 authorities threatening three 🇪🇺 nationals with deportation for taking part in pro-Palestinian protests in Berlin.

Ahead of next week’s Windsor Framework consent vote, we were in Brussels to talk about our positive European future. Opportunities for young people and jobs, shared identities and wider horizons. Read our proposals and join our campaign sdlp.ie/our_european_f…

Does the European Parliament really need two cribs?

@PadraigRice @SocDems Well done Padraig. You’re going to be brilliant.

I’m deeply honoured to have been elected as a TD for Cork South Central. A huge thank you to the over 5,000 people who went out in the rain on Friday to put a number 1 next to my name. I really appreciate the support. This is a historic breakthrough for the Social Democrats as it’s the first time we have won a seat in this constituency. In Cork South Central, we ran a really energetic campaign. We knocked on thousands of doors right across the constituency. I had a fantastic team of volunteers who put their hearts and souls into it. Our campaign was positive, progressive and solutions-focused – I think that really resonated with people. I would like to thank everyone I met during the campaign. On the doors, people shared their worries, hardships and concerns. One thing is crystal clear: people want to see real change in relation to housing, healthcare, disability, childcare and climate. I hope this election is the catalyst for that change.

Grace and kindness. Thank you @elisaodonovan 💜❤️

Conor Sheehan on his way to the Dáil for Limerick City 🌹❤️

@Harmonica26 @labour Well done Laura. All of you should be very proud.

My team tell me they’re ready and eager to fight another day, as am I ❤️ I am so incredibly proud of the campaign we ran and so grateful to the wonderful people of Cork South Central for their huge support and engagement. Thank you! ❤️

Let’s put a new generation in Dáil Éireann Limerick. Vote Conor Sheehan number one tomorrow. @ConorSheehan93 is in with a great chance of returning a Labour TD for our city - but every possible vote will be needed to make it happen. Polls open at 7am!

Devastating US election result. A Trump win spells disaster on so many fronts. For Ukraine, for Gaza, for Climate. For women’s rights, for migrant rights and for Europe. The US has made a choice - now the impact will be felt worldwide. Grim prospects ahead.

Big day.

Irish @Labour are well and truly back in the house with @TheProgressives - and it feels good ✌️ Let’s go @AodhanORiordain 🌹🇪🇺🇮🇪

I am delighted to announce that I will be seeking a @labour Party nomination to stand in Waterford for the next GE. I previously stood in the TCD Seanad bye-election and have a long association with party leader @ivanabacik. I look fwd to the opportunity to represent Waterford!🌹

@DaithiLundy @swheaton @EddyWax I had TOTALLY forgotten about this. Thank you.

Julia Laffranque looks set to try again to become European Ombudsman. A reminder of this campaign video from 2019. "Light will never age" youtube.com/watch?v=85fb3q… @swheaton @EddyWax

A mother could lose the right to parent her own child. A family is torn apart by strict abortion laws. LGBTQ people fear for their futures. A book is shredded in attacks on free speech. This is life in Europe under the far right. @vonderleyen: don’t normalise these policies.

+1⃣ Very pleased to welcome @AodhanORiordain to our Group 🇪🇺🌹🇮🇪 Our newly elected Irish MEP adds another nationality to our S&D family, expanding our reach ever further across Europe. We are now 136!

+1 😍

What a win by @AodhanORiordain - huge team effort from @labour across the capital to win an MEP seat back for @TheProgressives #fortheloveofdublin

@AodhanORiordain Everything crossed Aodhán! Good luck

The resistance is joy. Unite against the far-right. #EUelections2024
