In Paris today to participate at the annual OECD Ministerial Council Meeting. Looking forward to meeting with our OECD counterparts and to engage in important discussions on how effective industrial strategies and competitive markets can improve living standards for all 🇮🇪 https://t.co/TfYXgVjqgV #OECD #MinisterialCouncil #IndustrialStrategies #IE #FR
I welcome the latest US proclamation on steel and aluminium tariffs. Irish manufacturers of agricultural machinery and forklifts should be positively impacted. I understand how significant the pressures are on this sector. #USTariffs #IrishManufacturers #AgriculturalMachinery #US #IE
Just one month until Ireland assumes the Presidency of the Council of the EU on 1 July. 🇮🇪🇪🇺 Over the next six months, Ireland will help drive Europe’s agenda on competitiveness, investment, regulatory reform and growth, while strengthening cooperation across the Union. #IrelandEU #EUPresidency #EuropeanCooperation #IE #EU
Visiting schools across Ireland and speaking to thousands of students, he was a dignified voice for Holocaust education and the danger of antisemitism. We must and will continue his legacy. #HolocaustEducation #Antisemitism #Legacy #IE
I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Tomi Reichental. Tomi endured the evil of the Holocaust and dedicated his life to ensuring its horror is never forgotten. #NeverForget #Holocaust #TomiReichental #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
This appalling statistic is despite a ceasefire being in place. No child votes for war and no child should pay this terrible price. All parties are bound by humanitarian law to protect civilians and most importantly children. This brutal conflict must stop. #EndWar #ProtectChildren #HumanitarianLaw #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #theresponseis:
Russia’s drone attack of an apartment building in Galați, Romania is utterly unacceptable and I condemn this blatant violation of Romanian sovereignty. I have conveyed Ireland’s solidarity with Romania to my colleague @oana_toiu Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine must stop. #StandWithRomania #StopTheWar #UkrainianSovereignty #RO #RU #IE #UA
I reiterated Ireland’s unwavering support for Ukraine and the importance of upholding international law, protecting civilians, and working closely with our EU partners at this critical time. #IrelandSupportsUkraine #InternationalLaw #EUPartnership #IE #UA #EU
Ireland and the EU will continue to stand in full solidarity with Ukraine. Russia’s blatant threats and attempts to intimidate diplomats and civilians in Kyiv are completely unacceptable. We reject them utterly. #StandWithUkraine #EUsolidarity #NoToAggression #IE #EU #UA #RU
It is with great sadness and profound shock that I heard of the tragic incident in Belgium today. This will be an unimaginably difficult time for the injured and the families of those who have lost their lives. Our thoughts are with them, and all Belgians today. @dfatirl #Belgium #PrayForBelgium #Tragedy #BE
Great to meet 🇮🇹 Defence Minister @GuidoCrosetto in Rome today. We discussed security & defence issues including the very serious situation in the Middle East. Security will be a priority for Ireland’s 🇪🇺 Presidency. We must together to mitigate the threats we collectively face. https://t.co/sn6Rug0gBP #Defence #Security #MiddleEast #IT #IE
Kinija yra svarbi prekybos partnerė. Tačiau manau, kad turime užtikrinti didesnį pusiausvyrą bendruose santykiuose.
Russia again shows utter disregard for Ukrainian lives and human decency. It has no interest in peace. Our thoughts are with those affected. Our solidarity is with the entire Ukrainian people. #StandWithUkraine #HumanRights #PeaceForUkraine #UA #RU
I strongly condemn Russia’s massive and indiscriminate missile and drone attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities last night. The deliberate targeting of civilians is a war crime. #Ukraine #Russia #WarCrimes #UA #RU
Bien sûr, la Chine est un partenaire commercial majeur. Mais il est essentiel de trouver un meilleur équilibre dans cette relation et de gérer certains risques, notamment concernant les terres rares et les difficultés récentes liées à leurs conséquences sur notre économie.
Illegal settlements are a breach of international law. Europe’s trade policy must be consistent with its legal and moral obligations. #InternationalLaw #TradePolicy #HumanRights #EU
Europe cannot continue to defend a rules-based international order while permitting trade with illegal settlements. Today at the FAC (Trade), Ireland joined 9 Member States in calling on the European Commission to bring forward proposals to ban trade with illegal settlements. #TradeJustice #EndIllegalSettlements #EUPolicy #IE
We strongly condemn Russia’s threats and acts of intimidation against Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. Ireland reaffirms its solidarity with our EU partners. I call on Russia to end its illegal war of aggression in Ukraine and to abide by international law and the UN Charter. #StandWithBaltics #EndTheWar #InternationalLaw #RU #LV #LT #EE #IE #UA
Pleased to report that our Flotilla citizens are safe in Istanbul and are recovering. I assure their loved ones that officials from our embassy in 🇹🇷 will continue to provide appropriate consular assistance and support. #Flotilla #Istanbul #ConsularAssistance #TR
Today at the Trade Foreign Affairs Council, I’m calling for an EU-level ban on trade with illegal settlements. We must send a strong signal that this behaviour is unacceptable and must stop. #TradeBan #IllegalSettlements #EUForeignPolicy #EU
Pleased & relieved that all our Flotilla citizens have arrived in Istanbul, where they were met by a consular team from our Embassy to Turkiye. They will be afforded all appropriate consular assistance & support until they return home. #Flotilla #Istanbul #ConsularSupport #TR #US
Europe’s resilience will depend on our ability to innovate, work together and lead with confidence in a changing world. 🇪🇺 #Innovation #Collaboration #Leadership #EU
Good discussions at the World Economic Forum Senior Delegates Meeting in Dublin Castle ahead of Ireland’s upcoming EU Presidency. Discussing the big issues shaping Europe’s future - energy security, AI, competitiveness, investment and strategic partnerships. https://t.co/pmZNRPkcKE #WEF2023 #EUPresidency #EnergySecurity #IE #EU
I continue to monitor closely the situation concerning our citizens currently in Israeli custody. Our citizens are expected to be deported to Türkiye later today, where they will be met by representatives from our Embassy in Türkiye. #Israel #Turkey #CitizenSafety #IL #TR
I spoke to @NewstalkFM yesterday in relation to the illegally detained Irish participants of the Global Sumud Flotilla. Europe must act now and respond decisively to repeated breaches of international law. https://t.co/fGHUUE8yvo #GlobalSumudFlotilla #InternationalLaw #HumanRights #IE
Helen McEntee: Esu pasibaisėjusi ir šokiruota vaizdo įrašo ir pareikalavau nedelsiant paleisti aktyvistus.
Helen McEntee: Jsem videem šokována a zděšena.
Helen McEntee: Sunt îngrozită și șocată de videoclip, activiștii fiind deținuți ilegal... nu sunt tratați în niciun fel cu demnitatea sau respectul cuvenit.
Helen McEntee: Ces militants détenus illégalement ne sont en aucune manière traités avec la dignité ou le respect appropriés.
Helen McEntee: αυτοί οι ακτιβιστές που κρατούνται παράνομα… δεν αντιμετωπίζονται με κανέναν τρόπο με την πρέπουσα αξιοπρέπεια ή σεβασμό
Helen McEntee: Ces militants détenus illégalement (…) ne sont en aucune manière traités avec la dignité ou le respect appropriés.
Helen McEntee: jestem zszokowana i oburzona nagraniem

Helen McEntee: Ich bin entsetzt und schockiert über das Video.
Helen McEntee: Sunt îngrozită și șocată de videoclip, activiștii fiind deținuți ilegal… nu sunt tratați în niciun fel cu demnitatea sau respectul cuvenit.
Helen McEntee: ik was diep geschokt.
Helen McEntee: Ik ben diep geschokt.
Helen McEntee: Jag är bestört och chockad över videon och kräver att de olagligen gripna aktivisterna omedelbart släpps
Helen McEntee: Ces militants détenus illégalement (...) ne sont en aucune manière traités avec la dignité ou le respect appropriés.
Helen McEntee: Sunt îngrozită și șocată de înregistrarea video postată de Ben Gvir, în care participanții reținuți ilegal ai Flotilei Global Sumud, inclusiv cetățeni irlandezi, nu sunt tratați în niciun fel cu demnitatea sau respectul cuvenit.
Helen McEntee: Ces militants ne sont en aucune manière traités avec la dignité ou le respect appropriés.
Jordan continues to play a critical role in regional diplomacy and humanitarian efforts and there is a clear need for the international community to work together now more than ever. #JordanDiplomacy #HumanitarianEfforts #InternationalCooperation #JO
A pleasure to welcome Jordanian Deputy PM and Minister for Foreign Affairs, H.E. Ayman Safadi, to Dublin today 🇮🇪🇯🇴 Vital discussions on the devastating situation in Gaza, escalating violence in the West Bank, the security situation in Lebanon & the safety of our peacekeepers. https://t.co/tShnw19CG0 #Gaza #WestBank #Lebanon #IE #JO #PS #LB
Utterly appalling and unacceptable behaviour by Minister Gvir and the Israeli government. Our Embassy has formally raised this matter with the Israeli authorities and have demanded proper and humane treatment of Irish citizen. These actions cannot be allowed to continue. #IrishCitizen #HumanRights #IsraeliGovernment #IL #IE
The proposed Triple Lock reforms are about strengthening Ireland’s sovereign decision-making, ensuring decisions on Irish troop deployments are made by Ireland, not blocked by foreign vetoes. #TripleLock #Ireland #Sovereignty #IE
I warmly welcome the agreement reached with the European Parliament in the early hours of this morning on the EU-US deal. Stability in the EU US trade relationship benefits us all. #EUSTrade #EUUSDeal #TradeAgreement #EU #US
With Ireland’s EU Presidency just two months away, it’s important to remember that decisions made at EU level directly impact people’s everyday lives across Meath and Ireland. #IrelandsEUPresidency #EUimpact #MeathLives #IE
RT @dfatirl: Statement by Minister @HMcEntee on announcement of extension to ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. 🔗 https://t.co/xl03KYK… #Ceasefire #Israel #Lebanon #IL #LB
Welcome home to the men and women of the 127th Infantry Battalion after a demanding deployment in South Lebanon. Ireland remains deeply grateful for your courage and service. A heartfelt thank you also to their families, whose strength and support made this service possible. #127thInfantry #Ireland #MilitaryFamilies #LB #IE
I condemn the launch of hundreds of bombs and drones on Ukraine last night. Russia’s actions stand in stark contrast to Ukraine’s offer to extend the three-day ceasefire. They underline in very clear terms who the aggressor is. Ireland stands with Ukraine and for peace. #StandWithUkraine #PeaceForUkraine #StopTheAggression #UA #RU #IE
