Congratulations to Mairead McGuiness, Ireland's new European Commissioner

   08 Sep 2020

Taking over the European Union's Financial Services, Financial Stability and Capital Markets Union portfolio.

Mrs. Mairead McGuiness has been the vice-president of the European Parliament since 2014 and will bring significant experience to the role. Throughout the years attending the Tullamore Show, Mairead has become a good friend to us. 

We send her every best wish in the new role and look forward to seeing her again in the future. 

I propose @MaireadMcGMEP as future Commissioner for financial services. She has great qualifications & my full trust for this post. It is now for the EU Parliament to organise the hearings. Executive Vice-President @VDombrovskis will take on the trade portfolio. pic.twitter.com/OwGxwvpBad
