Catherine Day’s retirement

Summary

Senator van Turnhout praises retiring European Commission official Catherine Day, welcomes her successor and proposes inviting Day to address the House.

I am happy to add my name to the motion. I did not receive the e-mail. I have double checked and I did not receive it.

I applaud the work of Ireland's top EU civil servant, Catherine Day, who has announced her retirement from the European Commission as of the end of August. She is an unsung hero for us as Irish citizens but also for the European Union, particularly when she championed the enlargement of the Union and its role. I congratulate and welcome Alexander Italianer who will take up the position in August. I suggest we invite Catherine Day to address the House. Perhaps that might be considered-----
