Taoiseach Micheál Martin hosts the ninth European Political Community (EPC) summit in Dublin at the Convention Centre Dublin, with about 50 leaders in attendance. Multiple outlets describe the event as the largest diplomatic undertaking in Irish history and report that it is underway as leaders arrive.
Coverage focuses primarily on the summit’s scale and security arrangements. IrishCentral and the Irish Mirror both highlight what they call the largest security operation in the history of the Irish state, describing it as mounted by An Garda Síochána. RTE News previews the event and provides live-style updates as it gets under way, repeatedly emphasizing the scale of the diplomatic undertaking and Martin’s role as host.
