The concept is that communities around Irelands and the world would come together to create gardens to honour those who struggled in 1916 to achieve the aims of the Proclamation. The first of the gardens to be dedicated around the country was done by the Chair of Laois County Council earlier this year The gardens can be installed in existing public lands and would have 3 elements in common, 7 trees to commemorate the Signatories, a flag pole for the national flag and a replica of the proclamation. Working with the U.S. Government and members of congress I hope to have Gardens of Remembrance dedicated throughout DIARMUID GAVIN LAUNCHING THE the United States including in Washington DC 1916 GARDEN OF REMEMBRANCE INITIATIVE For more details check out the website: 1916gardensofremembrance.ie Senate Recall results The Irish Sign Language in More Staff & Recognition for members of Resources for Organ the Deaf Community Bill would assist in ensuring access to Donation System The first piece of legislation in the State Services history of the state on organ donation was an EU directive signed into law Irish law by the Minster for Health with out debate in the Dail, Senate or Health Committee.

    Lettre conjointe de 1.080 parlementaires de 25 pays européens aux gouvernements et dirigeants européens contre l'annexion de la Cisjordanie par Israël 23 juin 2020 Nous, parlementaires de toute l'Europe engagés en faveur d'un ordre mondial fonde ́ sur le droit international, partageons de vives inquietudeś concernant le plan du president́ Trump pour le conflit israeló -palestinien et la perspective d'une annexion israélienne du territoire de la Cisjordanie. Nous sommes profondement́ preoccuṕ eś par le preć edent́ que cela creerait́ pour les relations internationales en geń eral.́ Depuis des decennies,́ l'Europe promeut une solution juste au conflit israeló -palestinien sous la forme d'une solution a ̀ deux Etats,́ conformement́ au droit international et aux resolutionś pertinentes du Conseil de securit́ e ́ des Nations unies. Malheureusement, le plan du president́ Trump s'ecarté des parametres̀ et des principes convenus au niveau international. Il favorise un controlê israelień permanent sur un territoire palestinien fragmente,́ laissant les Palestiniens sans souverainete ́ et donnant feu vert a ̀ Israel̈ pour annexer unilateralement́ des parties importantes de la Cisjordanie. Suivant la voie du plan Trump, la coalition israelienné recemment́ composeé stipule que le gouvernement peut aller de l'avant avec l'annexion des̀ le 1er juillet 2020. Cette decisioń sera fatale aux perspectives de paix israeló -palestinienne et remettra en question les normes les plus fondamentales qui guident les relations internationales, y compris la Charte des Nations unies. Nous sommes profondement́ preoccuṕ eś par l'impact de l'annexion sur la vie des Israelienś et des Palestiniens ainsi que par son potentiel destabilisateuŕ dans la regioń aux portes de notre continent.
