The Irish education system is high quality, and 71% of Irish people agree with that. Our children leave with a high level of skills in English, math, and science. Only those in Singapore are more positive about the state of their education system. 🇮🇪🧑‍🏫 https://t.co/aWZGX4P6fx

We just adopted a new EU-India strategy. It offers stronger cooperation on trade, technology, climate, security and defence. But there are areas where we disagree. Ultimately our partnership is about defending the rules-based international order. My press remarks ↓

Today we propose to sanction extremist ministers and violent settlers, and suspend trade concessions with Israel. And put bilateral support to Israel on hold, without affecting our work with Israeli civil society or Yad Vashem.
