Huge thanks to Minister Niamh Smyth TD for a four-country epic☘️visit, including 🇱🇻. It was a great opportunity to explore more potential for cooperation in business and academia. And we are delighted you met our youngest member of the Irish community too!

On this day 27 years ago, the Good Friday Agreement was signed. This remarkable document – made possible by political leadership, vision, and compromise – helped end a cycle of violence that had continued for 30 years on the island of Ireland. Learn more: ireland.ie/en/dfa/role-po…

I am appalled by the brutal Russian missile attack on Sumy city. People killed & injured going about their daily lives, some on their way to church for Palm Sunday. I utterly condemn this latest cowardly attack by Russia. These are not the actions of a country seeking peace

I condemn the shocking and horrific missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Sumy that killed dozens of civilians and injured hundreds more. Despite calls for a ceasefire, Russia continues its relentless and destructive war. The killing has to stop.

It is with deep sadness that I learned of the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis, a remarkable figure who embodied compassion, humility, and service. My full statement:

In Kyiv today, I saw the extent of Russian brutality first-hand when I visited a site of the recent rocket attacks. Humbled by the chance to offer my condolences to President Zelensky on behalf of the Irish people and laid a wreath in memory of the victims. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇮🇪🇪🇺

Yesterday, I visited the shocking scene where Russia attacked a residential area in Kiyv, where many died and were injured. With my Lithuanian colleague, Sigitas Mitkus , I had the opportunity to express condolences with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський 🇮🇪 🇺🇦 🇪🇺 🇱🇹

It was an honour and privilege to attend the funeral of Pope Francis, on behalf of Ireland, led by President Higgins. Pope Francis challenged us all to be better, to care more, to judge less and to lead with kindness. His legacy will continue to inspire generations to come.
