The @EastKerryGAA O Donoghue Cup is a massively prestigious competition in the area .Today , @FossaGaa bowed out to @DrCrokesGAA & afterwards I was honoured to make the semi-final draw live on @clubber with John O Dowd, Liam Hassett & the Board Officers . Very attractive matches @DrCrokesGAA v @LegionGAA -local derby & @rathmoregaa v @kenmaregaa - 2 clubs that achieved so much & won many admirers already this year . #KeepItLocal !

After #ardfheisfg , I drove back to Killarney to join the wonderful @killarneyceltic in celebrating their Golden Jubilee. Killarney Avenue Hotel did a great job with efficient service & a fine meal ! Killarney Celtic do great work in providing games for boys & girls & have developed magnificent facilities .Go maire siad Calgary & céad bliain eile !!

What a privilege to take part in the panel ‘Ireland’s Place in a Changing World’ at the #FGArdFheis with @HMcEntee @nealerichmond @CathCallaghanTD, @barrymward and defence expert, Declan Power. We covered a lot of ground, from protecting Ireland at home, at sea and against cyber attacks to our neutrality and how our overseas aid helps build a more stable, secure world. These are big questions for Ireland and the resolutions proposed by Fine Gael members showed how much they matter to people across the country. 🇪🇺🇮🇪

Àthas orm páirt a ghlacadh i gclár spreagiúil ag @RTERnaG ó @UCC . Curtha I láthair go proifisiúnta ag @mairinnighadhra .

Thanks to President @UCC for welcoming us to @FineGael Ard Fheis .Great to meet up with wonderful members & friends . Good buzz & comfortable surroundings .

V good exchange of views with @Mariana_Betsa , Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister , Ukraine & @j_kobzova @ecfr on current & future events in #UkraineRussiaWar️ .EU stands firmly with Ukraine .After all , #Russia invaded Ukraine - simple as ! Aggression cannot be rewarded ! Well chaired by @JohnLahart ..

Having invited @simoncoveney to address @EP_ForeignAff in Dublin Castle this morning , everybody was hugely impressed by his tour de force in giving of his vast experience & thoughts on #neutrality , #triplelock , #Security , #defence , #brexit . Fantastic food for thought . ‘Trouble is coming to us , so, we better be prepared’. !

Lovely to have @simoncoveney back amongst MEPs this morning to kick off the CFSP and CSDP Interparliamentary Conference in Dublin Castle. Interesting discussions to follow!

Great to meet the new New Zealand Ambassador to the EU, Mark Talbot. Looking forward to working together closely in my role as DANZ Chair @NZinEU

Great to meet with the Irish Fish Producers Organisation today to discuss annual quotas, mackerel in particular, deals with Norway and The Hague preferences🎣🇮🇪 @IFPOIreland Fishing is a lifeline for coastal communities like Castletownbere and Killybegs, and EU rules need to be designed to support this sector!! 🇪🇺🇪🇺

Met a constituent from Cork at weekend He was asking me about USA mid-term elections , #Trump & EU etc. I said, ‘It’s ridiculous for Trump to be treating US allies ( EU & Canada) like enemies & treating US enemies (Russia) like friends ‘ .’ Yerra’ I added , ‘Russia is never going to be a friend of the US ‘ . He replied , ‘You’re right Sean, like Kerry & Cork ‘ !! I guess , Ould enemies are best !!! @Kerry_Official @OfficialCorkGAA @irishexaminer

Read my piece in Eolas Magazine on Ireland's foreign policy in an increasingly turbulent world. I discuss the emergence of a new world order, and what we must do if we are to thrive, become more sovereign, and remain able to promote our values as a peace-loving, democracy-supporting nation going forwards eolasmagazine.ie/sean-kelly-…

One of our greatest & most loved athletes. Life can be so cruel .She leaves a fabulous legacy . Ar dheis láimh Dé go raibh a hanam cróga ! #RIPCiara .

Bhain an domhan & a mháthair. & ár n_Uachtarán taitneamh as Oireachtas iontach ag @Gleneagle_IE inniu ! @PresidentIRL @AnGhaeltacht @RTERnaG @TG4TV

I’ve been saying for some years that the @Kerry_Official County Senior Football Championship is completely outdated & needs reform. Today proved it even more so . @Spagaa were lauded by @terracetalkrk & others as ‘The Team Of The Championship ‘ , but because of the ‘system’ they had to play a relegation game to stay in the same championship & now they are relegated .Some day , they’ll listen to me & boot out this most archaic system. I’m really sorry for heroic Spa .

Most deserved & what a contribution the Quaid family have made to @LimerickCLG & @officialgaa . Agus, is múinteóir den scoth é chomh maith ! 👏👏

Ceiliúradh 30bliain á cheiliúradh ag @TG4TV sa @TheBrehon anois , mar chuid de na himeachtaí iontacha ag an #Oireachtas I gCill Áirne an deireadh seachtaine seo .Go maire TG4 céad bliain . Stáisiún beag, éachtanna móra ! #Crá á sheoladh !
