Opinion Poll
European elections: Voters sceptical about an EU army and whether Ireland should participate
A new The Journal/Ireland Thinks poll also found that immigration is seen as the priority issue in the European elections.
Questions over EU military cooperation have long been a source of debate in the bloc.
Half of poll respondents were opposed to an EU army, with just over a third in favour.
Supporters of Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, the Greens and Labour were in favour of Ireland's participation in an EU army.

Super Tuesday is not so super this year but Donald Trump may still be the winner after it
It’s not a case of ‘if’ it’s all over but ‘when’.
Rónán Duffy takes a look at why this year's bumper day of US voting isn't quite so decisive.
Donald Trump is running away with the Republican race but Nikki Haley isn't quitting yet.
Instead, Trump's days in court may be the only chance of her claiming the nomination.

crisis
The EU's Israel-Gaza response has been poor according to two-thirds of Irish voters
The negative feeling is most keenly felt among younger people.
A major The Journal/Ireland Thinks poll, the first in a series of EU 2024 polls, published this morning.
The EU's response to the Gaza conflict has damaged its reputation with Irish people.
There remains, however, a huge motivation across the population to vote in four months with over 80% signalling intention to make it to the polling booths.
