Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (22 Mar 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: Like many Irish people, I have looked at the devastation in Mariupol and - let us call it for what it is - the war crimes that are being committed there.

It is very hard to be neutral when we look at the pictures each night or talk to people in any of those places. It is very hard to have...

Paul McAuliffe: It is great to have everybody here. The committee wants to focus on delivery and the delegations represent key parts in that.
