We're delighted to bring, in co-operation with @irishcongress, a delegation of senior trade union officials to @EU_Commission to meet with Commissioners, MEPs and EU officials. Interesting and lively discussions 👇

Incredibly generous of Commissioner Nicolas Schmit @NicolasSchmitEU for Jobs and Social Rights to give us an hour out of his busy day to discuss implementation of the adequate minimum wage directive, fair wage policy and other decent work priorities.

Digitalisation in finance and in other sectors, challenges for the EU in the years ahead, and the importance of social dialogue: great to discuss these issues today with senior representatives from Irish trade unions visiting Brussels.

Teachers are the heart of education. They possess the power to inspire, guide, and empower students, molding them into the leaders, innovators, and problem solvers of tomorrow....

Here's the @monaghangaa top 15 appearances table for 2020 to 2023. The county used just 57 players in the course of 49 games. For context, Dublin used 56 players in 2023 alone. @clontibretclg's Rory Beggan and @PearseBrothers's @RyanWylie3 joint topped the table. ⬜️🟦

Other topics included teacher supply, key leave updates, details on the upcoming rules congress - have your say on how the union works - and INTO's recruitment stategy.

4TH IN THE WORLD
Ciara Mageean that was sublime. A NEW Irish record and in one of the most stacked field against the best 1500M runners ever.. Mageean was right up there. Incredibly well run. What a star.
We are all proud 👏🏼

Conor McManus left the biggest stage as he arrived, exemplified by 2 brilliant points in the 58th and 60th minutes to bring Monaghan level. What a player. And what a man. Colm O’Rourke paid tribute, saying “Aliquid pulchritudinis est gaudium in aeternum.” independent.ie/sport/gaelic-…

Final score doesn’t reflect a great performance over 60 minutes. Very proud of @monaghangaa and how a county rose in their thousands to meet that moment in Croke Park. We go again next year. @MonaghanGAAFans

The final score was harsh, but that was a typically brave, disciplined performance by @monaghangaa, who gave us a great year even though nobody had expected much from it. Disappointed but proud.
