We strongly condemn Russia’s threats and acts of intimidation against Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
Ireland reaffirms its solidarity with our EU partners.
I call on Russia to end its illegal war of aggression in Ukraine and to abide by international law and the UN Charter.

Thank you, @ThomasByrneTD, for your steadfast support.
The Belarus regime wants political prisoners to disappear from the world’s attention. Ireland’s voice helps make sure they never will.

On International Day of Solidarity with Political Prisoners in Belarus, my thoughts are with those unjustly imprisoned by the Lukashenko regime.
Proud to stand with @Tsihanouskaya and all those who defend freedom, democracy and the Rule of Law for the people of Belarus.

After hearing sirens and/or receiving an “Air alert” notification (“ORO PAZAJUS”), you should immediately make your way to the nearest shelter marked with a yellow “Priedanga” sign. If this is not possible, try to access an underground area, or an interior room without windows.

Remain there until you get an update the danger has passed. To find the nearest shelter, use the map: bit.ly/4dTlY3M
