I’m standing up for farmers in the European Parliament and looking forward to meeting you next week at the National Ploughing Championships in Tullamore . Join us

We distributed 1000 leaflets with details of our Independent Ireland NO to Mercosur campaign at the Longford Agricultural Show today : every farmer we met outlined clear opposition to the deal - our Minister for trade Simon Harris TD would do well not to ignore this #Mercorsur

At the weekend I met a farmer in Abbeyleix who told me the next CAP package would be the last one for small farmers in the midlands and north west : I told him we can’t allow that to happen and today I received support for the same view when I spoke in the @EuropeanParliament Agri committee

The war in Ukraine rages on and , while an Irish mother grieves the loss of her son, the @Europeancommission should be moving to seize over 200 Billion in Russian assets : “Hit them where it hurts.” @Reuters

The suggestion by European Commission President Ursula von der leyen that Israel could in any way be allowed to behave like they have done in Gaza and Iran in the name of “self-defence” is just despicable I told @kajakallas in the plenary session of the @Europarl_ENon Strasbourg today

On Father’s day 2025, I remember my own Dad. A farmer who worked hard all his life, Dan Mullooly was justifiably very proud of his place in the midlands agricultural history as I wrote in my old column in @farmersjournal last year. Read on … www.farmersjournal.ie/comment/blog...

12 Months ago today June 14th, 2024 - you elected me to the @European after a mammoth count in Castlebar . I used the words of the late great John Healy that day to assure you I would always shout stop whenever I needed to on your behalf. I have as this short film shows : youtu.be/WNFKn10mz5M?si…

After a busy week : one common theme of reaction from my constituency today: these are just some of the 100,000 people who gave me my mandate - ‘keep doing what you’re doing Ciaran and make it stop’ #GazaGenocide

As the slaughter of innocent men, women and children continues in Gaza - and the world’s greatest humanitarian crisis continues to deteriorate - I’ve written personally to @vonderleyen to intervene with a 7 point plan to end the genocide ciaranmullooly.com/news

The housing crisis now needs emergency planning measures: Local authorities must move to village clusters and allow one-off housing applications when applicants are building on their parents’ land. As Vice Chair of the @Europarl_EN Housing committee I will push for policy change

I met 20 farmers this morning who own land in proximity to Mountdillon bog in county Roscommon which is to re-wetted by Bord na Móna. We agreed to act on a 4 point plan to meet concerns raised about the management of that process :1. We will meet the Bord na Móna

I have just seen a bill from ESB Group for 8000 euro! Energy prices are crucifying small business & leading directly to higher food prices in Ireland & throughout Europe: the facts are clear and the European Commission carries much of the blame so it’s time to change the agenda NOW!

Let this message be clear: Irish farmers are NOT interested in temporary compensation from the unfair @EU_Commission Mercosur trade deal - they want to hold onto their multi million € markets for beef and white meat in Europe and won’t be giving it away to South America #Mercursor
