SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, It is such an honor for me to be greeted by the University Philosophical Society of Trinity College Field members. As you just said, the world's oldest student society, one that has included such outstanding contributors to the world of arts and culture across 337 years of history. I've just been given such a wonderful tour of the library. I've seen The Book of Kells. I've seen. Such an amazing atmosphere here

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, 'm also so proud to be elected by your council to receive the Gold Medal of Honor repatriated this year, which I graciously accept on behalf of the European Parliament, an institution that is there to be essentially your voice. This recognition gives me faith that the actions that we have carried out in the last year are worthy of your trust, and I will do my utmost to continue to repay your faith.

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, Values matter, and with this war on our continent, we must hold our values of justice, of democracy, of equality up high. And we must support Ukraine in every way that we can. We have what it takes to fashion a better future for ourselves in Europe when we believe in our capacity to stand tall

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, Times are changing because we are listening and including all voices in society. Still a lot of work to do. Still a lot of convincing. But ultimately people believe people get involved. And because people like you roll up your sleeves and change the world. That's my last word for you changed the world. Because if you don't do it, someone else will for you. Thank you.
