Mayo farmer on panel for European elections live event

MAYO farmer Sinead Moran will join the Journal for their European Parliament 2024 Elections Live in the Dean Hotel, Galway, this Thursday, May 23, at 6.15 p.m.

The event, hosted by journalist Ella McSweeney, features a high profile panel, including leading organic micro dairy farmer from Mayo, Sinead Moran, University of Galway lecturer on energy systems engineering, Dr. Rory Monaghan, sustainable fashion advocate, TV presenter and writer, Fionnuala Jones, and the Journal’s climate and environmental reporter, Lauren Boland

Addressing key questions on how the EU impacts on how we tackle the challenges around climate change, food security, energy and our day-to-day life, this promises to be an inspiring event which will both pose and address questions of EU Parliament voters in Galway and the west of Ireland. Everyone is invited to join the discussion and conversation on these hugely important topics ahead of next month’s European elections.

A free event which will include a buffet and refreshments in the Blue Room at the Dean Hotel, the Journal invite the people of Galway, Mayo and the west of Ireland to join the conversation and crucial discussions surrounding climate crisis, and how our votes for the next European Parliament can influence the action taken there on these urgent issues.

Key questions include What is the EU currently doing to tackle the ever more urgent climate change crisis? How does Ireland manage its agricultural outputs and food sustainability? Are we losing the battle to preserve and protect biodiversity and nature in all its forms? How does the future of energy figure in this? And what can we as individuals do to demand action or take action ourselves?

Doors open at 6.15 p.m. with buffet and refreshments, with the panel event at 7 p.m.
