Day 1 of my trip as part of the Irish Government St Patrick’s Day Programme. I visited Adelaide, Australia to meet with delegates, visit universities and embrace their local culture too. Lovely bonus to meet so many Irish who have made Adelaide their home.

Day 5: Today, I had the honour of taking part in #Perth’s 10th #StPatricksDay #parade, a fantastic fun filled day of celebration. I met with so many Irish living in #Australia and so many Irish associations from music, dance, art as well as a vast number of Irish businesses 💚☘️

That’s a wrap from #Australia. It was an honour to represent Ireland and have the opportunity to foster trade relations, strengthen political ties & establish educational connections and engage with so many Irish-Australian. I look forward to putting into action all I’ve learned.

Ireland is approaching these challenges with a record number of people at work, our public finances in surplus, and a country full of highly-skilled workers.

CSO figures today show 90,800 new jobs were created in the last 12 months. There are 2.81 million people now working in our country, with growth in all regions. Government will not get complacent. We will protect these jobs and our economic security. enterprise.gov.ie/en/news-and-ev…

Hace un año, España, Noruega Espen Barth Eide, Eslovenia Tanja Fajon e Irlanda reconocimos el Estado de Palestina. Hoy en Madrid, renovamos nuestro compromiso con un Estado palestino viable. Queremos hacer real ese anhelo de justicia y paz para el pueblo palestino.
