I am extremely saddened to learn of the passing of the late Donal Carey. Donal was deeply committed to public service, dedicating well over 20 years of his life to the people of Clare, as a councillor, TD, Senator and Minister of State. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

We deeply value Ireland’s steadfast support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and its clear stance in condemning Russia’s occupation of Crimea. Your voice strengthens our shared efforts to restore peace and security in Europe. #StandWithUkraine
Today, the Leas-Chathaoirleach of Seanad Éireann, Senator Maria Byrne, attended the fourth parliamentary summit of the International Crimea Platform in Stockholm, Sweden. The summit aims to highlight the consequences of Russia’s annexation of Crimea. #CrimeaStockholm2025
