“I’m traveling. California Later this week I look forward to meeting with political representatives, business leaders, trade unions and the Irish community.
“While we are dealing with many challenges, this is a time of real hope and opportunity. Ireland. The social and economic opportunities are immense and we want them to be realised. This requires planning and preparation which the current FF/FG government has failed to do fully. That’s why we have a generation that is left behind worse than their parents and a generation that shuts out opportunity and home ownership. This cannot go on – we need change, we need progress, we need opportunity. We want our youth to have a share in the future Ireland.
“We are approaching 25Th Anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, an agreement that shows what can be achieved when people come together for a common purpose. After 25 years, we are starting to write the next chapter. Ireland History – Reunification of Ireland. The US’s role in securing the Good Friday Agreement was crucial and their vote will be important as we move towards the Irish unity referendum.
“Looking ahead, however, we are dealing with huge challenges both globally and in Ireland. The ongoing war within Ukraine, the rising cost of living, the fallout from a toxic Brexit, the very real and present climate emergency and an all-out attack on the Good Friday Agreement amid infighting from the British Tory Party. We should see a change in direction as they elect a new leader in the coming days. We need a re-commitment to the Good Friday Agreement, genuine support for the restoration of the political institutions and an end to playing around the Irish Protocol and unilateral actions by the British Government.
And voices in Ireland And to be clear, the US could not be more united Britain This should happen.
“The message I am conveying on this journey is about change, opportunity and working together on a common cause, and I am determined to deliver this.”
