Alex at Conference
Alex with Nessa Childers, MEP candidate for Ireland East in Mullingar
We had an enjoyable and interesting time at the Labour Conference in Mullingar at the weekend. The mood was good among delegates and the standard of debates was really some of the best in recent conferences. I had an opportunity to speak on a number of motions:
On Friday I spoke on the very first motion of the Conference, putting forward Labour’s ideas to deal with unemployment. You can view the video by clicking here.
On Saturday, a debate on the economy took place and I had an opportunity to speak on the motion. You can view this video by clicking here.
Some of the most lively speeches were reserved for the debate on Labour’s 21st Century Commission report. I spoke in favour of the report on Saturday afternoon and you can see this by clicking here.
A part of this speech was also featured on Sunday’s edition of The Week in Politics on RTE1. The programme is now available online and you can see it again by clicking here.
