Le 1er juillet, l’Irlande prendra la tête de la présidence du Conseil de l’UE pour la huitième fois.
Dans un monde incertain, notre force s’accroît lorsque nous sommes unis.
En Irlande, le proverbe « Ní neart go cur le chéile » nous rappelle que « l’union fait la force ».
On 1 July, Ireland takes over the Presidency of the Council of the EU for the 8th time.
In an uncertain world, our strength is reinforced when we stand together.
In Ireland, the seanfhocal or proverb “Ní neart go cur le chéile” reminds us that we have “Strength with unity”.
