A heartfelt thank you to Fergal Mythen, Ireland’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, and his brilliant team here in New York for a very interesting and informative programme of events and meetings at the UN High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development.

Ireland continues to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all hostages, and unimpeded humanitarian access. We strongly condemn the violence, the worsening humanitarian crisis, and ongoing violations of international law. Peace must begin with justice🇮🇪🌍

Within the published revised National Development Plan is a transformative investment in public transport. Major funding for rail, bus, and for the first time, Metro North. Better transport means better quality of life, more jobs, and less time commuting🚆🚌
