    Politics is one of the most important activities we engage in,not politicians themselves but the activity itself. Politics is complicated but it impacts on everybody’s life, it helps to shape the future. No matter who we support, stay political, stay informed

    What a precious memory, hold it tight, you are blessed. My dad died 50 years ago, I remember him like yesterday. Wish he was around sometimes.Still I’m blessed to have a 92 year old mother who at an extremely difficult time became father & mother. #myheroine

    A final handshake as we leave the Plenary in Strasbourg for the last time for the 2014/2019 European Parliament term. We didn’t always agree but on some of the important things we did and that’s how you make progress in the European Parliament #CAP #SocialEurope #EUDefenceFund

    Twice I said to the #Minister that #GDPR would supersede 2004 legislation and asked him to delay the #MotherAndBabyHome bill. #RepealTheSeal Government breaking the law by sealing mother and baby homes records, says DPC irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4007…
