Tipp councillors in Brussels

Ireland South MEP Deirdre Clune welcomed a delegation of county councillors to Brussels recently.

The programme, organised by Deirdre Clune MEP, saw councillors meet with representatives from the IFA, ICO, the European Investment Bank, the Committee of the Regions, as well as the Fine Gael delegation in the European Parliament. The group also received a briefing from Commissioner Phil Hogan in the European Commission headquarters in Brussels.
 
Clune described the event as a great opportunity for local representatives to learn about the impact of EU decisions on their daily work. Clune said it affords the councillors an opportunity to question EU officials on important local issues and to develop lasting connections in Brussels.
