US President Donald Trump has announced that he will lift tariffs on Irish whiskey following a conversation with Irish Taoiseach Micheal Martin, after previously already eliminating tariffs on Scottish whiskey. (translated)
"Balancing act" = craven book-licking by Micheál Martin. Trump & his imperialist administration have been funding & arming Israel's genocide in Gaza, & the Taoiseach praises his 'peace plan' that sets Gaza up as a colonial outpost under Tony Blair... #NoWelcomeForTrump https://t.co/zY1ytzxPWK #NoWelcomeForTrump #Gaza #Colony #IE #US #IL #PS
Taoiseach says there can be 'no tolerance' for reckless driving after recent motorway crashes NOT true. I have raised in the Dáil numerous times that Gardaí are not trained to pursue and the nothing has been done about it. https://t.co/vTLIuFrg6L #RecklessDriving #Gardaí #RoadSafety #IE
Google to open a building on one of the historic sites of the 1916 Easter Rising. "By expanding their footprint here, Google is reinforcing Ireland's position as a digital leader internationally," said Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD. https://t.co/3U1cNCNach #Google #EasterRising #DigitalIreland #IE
Thank you Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD for your strong commitment to making the protection of children a priority during the Irish Presidency. Starting with extending the law on the detection of online child sexual abuse material. For a Europe that protects children, not criminals. https://t.co/CFqjace7rO #ChildProtection #OnlineSafety #IrishPresidency #IE

Taoiseach hopes to help Ukraine make ‘historic’ progress on EU bid during presidency. Do the citizens of the EU have a say? https://t.co/7zIkdkitRY #Ukraine #EUPresidency #CitizensVoice #UA #EU
The future of Ireland should be decided by the people of Ireland. I am calling on Taoiseach Micheál Martin to support Sinn Féin’s Irish Unity Bill on July 7th. We have a huge opportunity to end partition, break the link with Britain and reunite our country - to shape our own https://t.co/o8qwGeCtIw #IrishUnity #EndPartition #PeopleOfIreland #IE #GB
Oireachtas Committee today recommended all drugs are decriminalised for personal use. Taoiseach Micheal Martin didn't rule it out in Dail; saying the report will be considered; but Drugs Minister says this is 'contrary' to Citizens Assembly https://t.co/yE8gCAIyg6 #Decriminalisation #DrugsPolicy #Ireland #IE
Ireland’s own EU story shows what Europe can do for peace when it brings countries closer together. Great meeting with Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD in Dublin. At a time when EU accession negotiations with our frontrunners are accelerating, I welcome Ireland’s strong support for https://t.co/uYJrX5aF8f #Ireland #EUTeamwork #PeaceInEurope #IE #EU
We sent the Taoiseach a copy of a petition that has been signed by well over 60,000 Irish citizens. It calls on the government not to participate in the EU Migration Pact. The EU migration pact is bad for Ireland. It does not have public support. https://t.co/xnjQ2NsaIH #EUReject #Ireland #MigrationPact #IE #EU
The Taoiseach’s decision to exclude services from the Occupied Territories Bill is unacceptable. Nearly 70% of Ireland’s trade with the occupied territories is in services. So Micheál Martin seeks to weaken the intent of the Bill. We won’t stand for it. Israel must be sanctioned. https://t.co/QWnsg3Q81N #OccupiedTerritories #Ireland #SanctionsAgainstIsrael #IE #IL #PS

I fully support the work being done by our Foreign Minister, Helen McEntee and the Taoiseach on this. I intend to raise it with fellow European People Party Leaders also. There must be a strong, unambiguous EU response. #EUDiplomacy #EuropeanPeopleParty #StrongEU #EU
