Más féidir le Feisirí Eorpacha ar fud na hEorpa #Gaeilge a labhairt le linn Seachtain na Gaeilge, is féidir leatsa freisin! (If MEPs across 🇮🇪🇸🇮🇩🇪🇸🇪🇲🇹 can speak #Irish, you should too!)
This #seachtainnagaeilge, let’s speak as much Irish as we can & show everyone that our language is very much alive. ☘️
I changed my name from Aidan O’Reardon to Aodhán Ó Ríordáin when I went to college over 30 years ago.
In my job I attend meetings in different EU member states and the UK.
The ONLY country to routinely misspell my name is Ireland.

Fine Gael must answer for the truly destructive role their group, the EPP, play here in #Europe.
The #EPP teamed up with the far right to block a debate that would have shown solidarity with Pedro #Sánchez and Spain after #Trump ‘s attacks.
I wonder does Simon Harris stand over this decision?
But more for political than football reasons….
Oscar Traynor Road…..
Pedro #Sanchez is the only #EU leader standing up for intl law in #Ukraine, #Gaza & #Iran.
His leadership has proven exactly why we need more social democratic governments in #Europe.
If the Taoiseach goes to the White House next week - and he shouldn’t - he must defend Spain & our entire Union.

People across Dublin are feeling the cost-of-living shockwaves caused by Trump’s illegal war on Iran. We cannot sit back & wait for another inflation crisis.
I’m calling on the EU Commission to urgently prepare a financial firewall so Ireland can respond. Read more here: labour.ie/news/2026/03...
Absolutely gutted by that result but if we play that way every game we’ll absolutely be in Brazil next summer.

Unfortunately I’m in Brussels but wishing Ireland every success against the French in Tallaght tonight.
Rent changes will drive rents higher and push families to the brink.

‘Keep bombing people until they stop talking about the Epstein Files’ is the main plank of U.S Foreign Policy in 2026.
March the 1st!
Loads to get through this month on a whole heap of levels.
Dreaming of this month ending with a final whistle in Lansdowne Road and Ireland qualifying for the Men’s World Cup.
Hope doesn’t kill you.
It keeps you alive!
Minister McEntee on RTÊ incapable of condemning a bombing campaign outside of international law.
This photo was on the front page of the Irish Times the day after I lost the 2016 election. It had been a marathon count.
In retrospect it was possibly the best thing that ever happened to me but it didn’t feel like it at the time.
You win and lose but you have to stick to what you believe in.
Not a word of condemnation a criticism about the US / Israeli attacks.
The EU is a walkover because we act tough when it’s easy. But roll over when it matters.
An elementary girls’ school in Iran was bombed.
53 dead.
We’re handing the US shamrock in a fortnight.
Because money speaks louder than blood.
EU have to realise that current Israeli and US regimes are destroying world order, creating massive economic instability and are no respect for international law or sovereignty.
As they bomb Iran this morning the EU must respond in a manner befitting this crucial historic moment.
Bohemian Football Club.
🇪🇺 Two weeks ago, we passed the #EU Parliament’s report calling for the eradication of poverty across Europe.
So, what now?
‼️ I met with Executive Vice-President Roxana Minzatu to press for concrete timelines, real accountability, and urgent delivery to make a difference on the ground in #Dublin.
If you have kids, watch this video.
If you have empathy, watch this video.
If you have a heart, watch this video.

Ireland’s first supervised injection facility has now treated over 270 non-fatal overdoses.
16 people are alive today because this service exists.
The evidence is undeniable: harm reduction works.
The Government must now act.

O’Donovan now making Oriel Park a party political issue.
He’s bang out of line and even FGers know it.
There was a riot after the Munster Hurling Final last year and the Minister said nothing.
Football deserves better than a Ban-era ministerial mindset.
Four years since Russia’s brutal full-scale invasion of #Ukraine.
Solidarity cannot be symbolic. It has to be backed by action.
I was proud to stand clearly and publicly with Ukraine this morning through supporting the European Parliament resolution condemning Russia’s illegal war of aggression.
Trump has once again plunged the EU into uncertainty. This time, we will not be bullied.
Europe will stand on our own two feet and defend our values - and that means striking down the EU-US trade deal signed last year.

Minister O’Donovan regularly gives impression that he despises soccer.
What happened in Dundalk was a disgrace & the days of pyros at matches must be over.
However O’Donovan seems almost gleeful at administering collective punishment.
Will the same happen after a GAA or rugby melee?
The constant headlines may have faded. But the genocide in Palestine continues.
International law cannot be applied selectively.
The EU must apply its visa suspension mechanism to Israeli officials now.
Human rights mean nothing if they are enforced only when it is politically convenient.
Just get out of there. Zero upside to stay.
