100 years of independence.
50 years of European membership.

Half a century ago, Ireland joined the EU.

Europe’s transatlantic gateway and link to the anglophone world, we have benefited immensely from the Irish spirit in our Union.

A people that struggled for the right to self-determination, who export openness and ingenuity wherever they venture, may we all learn from the resilience of the Irish.

Here’s to many more years of unity and building a stronger EU, together—le chéile.

@EU_Commission I did some back-of-the-envelope math once and found that military conflicts between EU member states dropped to a quarter of what they were pre-EU.

The formation of the EU has to be one of the most successful peace treaties of all time.

Hats off to Ireland for being part of this success story.

I am a proud European and strong supporter of the EU and I feel particularly privileged to have built my life in Ireland, a small country with a big heart!
