The European Conservatives and Reformists party is due to hold what it calls a cultural festival next weekend in Ireland. I would describe it as a hate fest. This group is made up of people like those in Giorgia Meloni's party, which is currently restricting the rights of gay parents to have full rights over their children and is waging war with NGOs that try to rescue people from the Mediterranean. The group includes the Bulgarian wing of a far-right party that is trying to bring a constitutional amendment to ban people who do not have certain academic qualifications from voting. It also includes Viktor Orbán's party, which is notoriously ultranationalist and far right, and the Greek Solution, which advocates shutting down NGOs, describing them as trafficking companies

We do not control what hotels or pubs these people visit, but they are due to visit this House on 3 November. We will not be here but I would like the Taoiseach to join me in saying these people should not be welcomed. Far-right extremists who shut down the rights of individuals, collectives and migrants should not be welcomed to Leinster House on 3 November.
