I was unable to attend the last meeting of the Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels on 20 July as it coincided with my five-day visit to South Africa and Mozambique from the 17th to the 22nd of July. Ireland was represented at the Council by our recently retired Permanent Representative to the EU, Ambassador Tom Hanney.

I look forward to having the opportunity to speak to my EU colleagues again during UN high level week on 18 September.
