Coalition leaders urged to push for Ireland to secure energy portfolio in new EU Commission

'Ireland, due to its access to a high-quality wind corridor off the west coast, is uniquely positioned to drive the transition to offshore energy, delivering not just for our nation but for the whole of Europe'

She wrote to incoming Taoiseach, Fine Gael leader Simon Harris, Tánaiste Micheál Martin of Fianna Fáil, and Green Party Minister for the Environment Eamon Ryan asking them to use their influence in Europe in a bid to win the energy brief at the commission. In her letter to the Coalition leaders Ms Chambers wrote that the energy portfolio “is not just crucial for Ireland; it also represents a strategic European interest”.Mohammad Syfkhan: ‘It is my duty to offer this beautiful country everything I can. I wrote a song called I Love You Ireland’‘A few months ago my wife left the country. The last six months have been the most traumatic of my life’

She said: “In your capacities as national party leaders within your respective European political groupings – Fianna Fáil in the Renew Europe and ALDE Party, Fine Gael in the EPP, and the Green Party in the European Greens – it is imperative that we present a united front to the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. We must advocate for the assignment of the energy portfolio to Ireland”.
