A beautiful bracelet for the day that& #39;s in it, little did @SuzyPowr know when she gifted it to me that it& #39;d be the perfect gift for my future place at European Movement Ireland, where I& #39;ve worked on all things Ireland and Europe for a year now https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇪🇺" title="Flag of European Union" aria-label="Emoji: Flag of European Union">

Today, Lá na hEorpa 2020, European solidarity is more important than ever as we face a pandemic in which Europe has suffered more than most. We didn& #39;t see it as we should have at first but that& #39;s changing, bit by bit. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤝" title="Handshake" aria-label="Emoji: Handshake">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏽" title="(medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: (medium skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😷" title="Face with medical mask" aria-label="Emoji: Face with medical mask">

The EU isn& #39;t perfect, there is always room for change and more of our voice to be heard, but Europe, to me is fundamentally about unity, solidarity & diversity; our EU membership has been transformative for women in Ireland; the EU continues to work to support LGBTQIA+ people https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏳️‍🌈" title="Rainbow flag" aria-label="Emoji: Rainbow flag">

across Europe; the values of the EU fly in the face of the far-right hate we& #39;ve seen on the rise, celebrating diversity in all ways. So however much we need to continue to work together to make "Europe" better for all, I think that today,70 years since the Schuman Declaration was
