"(Mr President, Mr President-in Office, Taoiseach, I am proud to be here today as part of the first Sinn Féin team in the European Parliament.)
As Irish republicans, following in the tradition of Bobby Sands MP, we are committed to the politics of equality, justice and freedom. We bring Sinn Féin's agenda for change, for Irish unity and independence to this forum.
I would like to acknowledge the work of the Irish presidency over the last six months and to wish the new Dutch presidency well.
Sinn Féin believes that the enlarged EU must adopt a new set of priorities. We oppose attempts to turn the EU into a superstate or a military and economic superpower. We support EU reform that gives power back to the people, the elimination of poverty, support for public services, revitalised rural economies, and the reform and strengthening of the United Nations.
This, we believe, is the new direction for Europe. This is the EU that we will work towards."@en1

"A Uachtaráin, a Uachtaráin in oifig, a Thaoisigh, tá mé mórálach as a bheith anseo inniu mar chuid de chéad-fhoireann Shinn Féin i bParlaimint na hEorpa."1
