Fine Gael Kildare South TD and Chairman of the Fine Gael Parliamentary Party, Martin Heydon, will attend the 24th Summit of Chairs of EPP Parliamentary Groups in the National Parliaments of the EU and European Parliament on Monday 7th November in Brussels. Deputy Heydon will bring the messages of the All-Island Civic Dialogue to the attention of his colleagues in Europe.

“As Chairman of the Fine Gael Parliamentary Party, I look forward to attending this summit and highlighting with my colleagues in Europe, the messages that emerged from the All-Island Civic Dialogue on Brexit held in Dublin last Wednesday. The Dialogue was the first of its kind on the island of Ireland and was an important discussion on the implications for the island of future Brexit negotiations.

“As part of the discussion between EPP Chairs on Monday I will be raising some of the main issues that arose from the contributions of business leaders, community groups, farming organisations and many others both north and south of the border.

“We in Fine Gael will continue to use our extensive contacts in Europe, through the European People’s Party, to deliver our message of remaining at the heart of Europe while highlighting the unique challenges that face the island of Ireland as a result of Brexit. On Monday I will be emphasising our four key priorities being the economy & trade, Northern Ireland & the peace process, the common travel area and the future of the EU itself.”
