Our hearts are with Kraków tonight.
We are deeply saddened by the tragic attack on the Main Market Square. Our deepest condolences go to the families and loved ones of the victims.
We wish the injured, including the police officers, a full recovery, and we thank the emergency services for their courage.

Bomb threats, disrupted flights and cyberattacks hitting food supplies should sharpen minds ahead of EU meetings in Ireland.
Hybrid warfare thrives on fear and disruption. We must get serious about defending our citizens.
Waiting to be hit again is not a strategy.

The EU is set to adopt its most stringent criminal laws ever to combat child sexual abuse, following an agreement secured by the EPP Group.
Today, the European Parliament’s Civil Liberties Committee will endorse a deal with Member States on a complete overhaul of the Child Sexual Abuse Directive. The measures aim to prevent child sexual abuse, tackle the misuse of emerging technology and ensure more perpetrators face justice for their heinous crimes.
“We can never be ambitious enough when it comes to protecting children,” said @jeroen_lenaers MEP, lead negotiator for the Parliament.

Congratulations to Fergal. He did the county a huge service especially during Covid times when he steered us through with a steady but inquiring hand.

1/AI is moving faster than politics. That needs to change. Ahead of @FineGael’s Ard Fheis, I’ve published a discussion paper on how Ireland can shape its AI future, rather than simply react to it.

NEW: Kansas has become the latest state to shift from Lean Republican to Toss-up in the final Fox News Power Rankings ahead of Tuesday's midterm elections.
The traditionally Republican state is now considered a battleground as GOP Sen. Roger Marshall faces Democrat Adam Hamilton.
The updated forecast points to significant Republican spending in Kansas as a reason the race is no longer rated as favoring the GOP.
Control of the Senate also remains a toss-up, with Democrats favored in 48 seats, Republicans in 45 and seven races too close to call.

These midterms are the most fascinating in a very long time. If
States like Texas and Florida can turn blue then US politics really is changing like never before.
