Really looking forward to welcoming Minister Neale Richmond tomorrow, and to a great discussion with the Toronto Irish community on Irish Foreign Ministry’s next Global Diaspora strategy. Ireland’s global family is key to our strength at home & abroad.

It most certainly was a busy summer for #TeamIreland in Canada! Check out some of the highlights below.

It was such a pleasure to catch up with Ireland’s former Honorary Consul in Toronto Eithne Heffernan over lunch. An absolute legend and a lovely lady to boot. Looking forward to working with and learning from you Eithne!
