Partnership and solidarity is crucially important if we are to address the complex challenges facing communities across the world. Having @devperspectives continuing to base itself in Drogheda is valuable in so many ways for the community and region. ✊

One of the reasons Ireland is moving forward with the OTB now is the obvious momentum at EU level. Good thread from Martin on how we only need a qualified majority of MS for an EU wide ban - not unanimity - and why there’s no barrier to banning all trade, goods & services. 👇
🧵One more thread on EU trade with Israel's illegal settlements.
Lot of people ask - would an EU ban on such trade require unanimity or qualified majority (QMV) of EU states?
Together with @CIDSE @DorienVdb50 we asked this question to experts on EU constitutional law.

The Second #TrainingofTrainers workshop in partnership with @KWETB took place this week. It was a pleasure working with this group throughout this training programme. The small activity of #Davincisbridge provided a fun but serious moment which engaged the pillars of #GCE. @SaoltaEd is looking forward to engaging with @KWETB again in the future. @Irish_Aid @MaynoothUni @devperspectives @AontasIreland @Concern @CorkETB @irishrurallink
