Irish MEP Mick Wallace to host Q&A event in Kilkenny

Mick Wallace, MEP for Ireland South, will host a question and answer event on the future of the European Union in The Club House Hotel, Kilkenny on Wednesday, May 8 at 8pm.

Mr Wallace has been a member of the European Parliament since 2019 and is a member of the Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, the Subcommittee on Security and Defence, the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, and the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs. 

The Wexford native is a candidate for 'Independents 4 Change' in the upcoming European Parliament election on Friday, June 7.

Using a question and answer format, Mr Wallace will discuss the future of the European Union and what it means for Ireland. He will also discuss the cost of living crisis, austerity and the EU fiscal rules, the militarisation of the EU, Irish neutrality, the war in Gaza, Ursula von der Leyen, the Asylum and Migration Pact, the climate and biodiversity crises and the European Green Deal, EU agricultural policy and a range of other subjects. 

"Decisions are made every day in Brussels that impact how our society is organised. And for some time now the decisions being made in Brussels are negatively affecting the ordinary people of Ireland, and ordinary people across Europe. Right now, the interests of corporations and Big Business dominate so much of EU policy and that needs to change," The Irish MEP stated.
