Electing in Europe, what will happen and why does it matter?

2024 is a critical year for Ireland and Europe. A year of transition as landmark EU green, digital and social legislation enters into force. A year of implementation as the EU seeks to strengthen competitiveness without lessening ambition. The EU is central to our future success. The 2024 European Parliament elections are an opportunity to help shape that future. An opportunity to put strong Irish voices into one of Europe’s key institutions. In this instalment of Ibec Responds, Pat Ivory Director of EU and International Affairs at Ibec is joined by Frances Fitzgerald, Member of the European Parliament and Noelle O Connell, CEO of the European Movement Ireland. They look at the influence and significance of politics on a European scale, speculate on the composition of the upcoming European Parliament, and examine its potential implications for the business sector.
