Meet Your MEP

Decisions that are made at the EU level can have a big impact on our daily lives. At The Wheel we believe that citizens’ active participation in society is vital so they can play a part in influencing the decisions that affect them.  In this section, you can find out who’s responsible for representing Irish citizens in Brussels and how you can have your say on the issues that are important to you.  

Join Together.eu 

Together.eu is an online community of pan-European active citizens interested in learning from each other and finding common ground on EU issues. Created by the European Parliament during the 2019 European elections, together.eu encourages everybody to participate in democracy through virtual events and activities.  

In the lead-up to May 2019, volunteers helped raise awareness about the issues that matter most to them, their friends and families. From climate change to data protection, thousands of EU citizens throughout Europe organised activities, events and debates to remind others that participation in pan-European platforms is essential to dealing with today's challenges. Check out the latest events organised by the European Parliament and the together.eu community, happening online and across Europe, by joining together.eu here
