Sinn Féin MEP for Ireland South, Kathleen Funchion, will welcome her colleagues from The Left in the European Parliament to Kilkenny next week, for their group study days.
This is the first time the event will be held in Kilkenny.
MEP Funchion said:
“I am delighted to welcome a large delegation of politicians from across Europe to Kilkenny for this three-day event. I advocated strongly for Kilkenny to host the Study Days, as I wanted to showcase the county and highlight all that it has to offer to my European colleagues.
“The programme will include addresses from Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald and First Minister Michelle O’Neill, alongside discussions on tackling EU deregulation, the ongoing genocide in Palestine, feminism and equality, the environmental and social impact of data centres, and the right to self-determination.
“There will also be a number of field visits outside of Kilkenny, including to Nua Manufacturing in Co Carlow and to Dalymount Park for a tour of Bohemian FC.”
