‘Zoom fatigue’ is taxing the brain. Here's why that happens. nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/0…

The Embassy of Ireland in The Hague and Residence in Wassenaar fly the national flag at half-mast today as a mark of respect for Dr Tiëde Herrema, whose funeral takes place today, and for his beloved wife Elisabeth who passed away a week ago. Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann 🇮🇪🇳🇱

173 years ago the ChoctawNationOK sent $170 to ease the suffering of Ireland’s famine poor. Their solidarity & kindness has never been forgotten. As Gary Batton, the Nation’s chief, said today “we have been kindred spirits since”. And will be ever more. ift.tt/2A2ynlG

Busy evening on ‘virtual visit’ to Washington D.C. as part of 2 day programme. Good opportunity to further our engagement & to focus on the strong bilateral relationship between 🇮🇪 and 🇺🇸. Pathways to #COVIDー19 recovery also discussed tinyurl.com/ybt67dq4

UN Member States will elect five new Security Council members on 17 June. 🌍 Ireland is running for a seat based on its core values of Empathy, Independence, and Partnership. 🤝 These values are needed at the highest levels. Now more than ever. #IrelandUNSC

Honoured to speak to Arirang TV about the Irish who fought in the Korean War in the British and other armies under UN Command, notably in the Royal Ulster Rifles, and the seven Columban priests and Anglican nun, who gave their lives in choosing to stay with the Korean people.

A favorite joke of my father’s, on turning 66 & receiving the free travel pass, was to stand & declare “I will arise & go now, & go to Ennis free”. I’m about 3,000 miles from Ireland this #YeatsDay, & my papa is 6 years gone, but I still hear his laugh in my deep heart’s core.

Ireland's campaign for a seat on the UN Security Council is driven by our belief that we are far stronger when we act together. 🇮🇪 will bring its distinctive approach shaped by our history as a country that has struggled for independence & our geography as an island nation.

We did it! Congratulations Ireland, we’re back on the United Nations Security Council! Well done to all the Irish team at the UN, in Ireland and around the world! @UNSC ⁦@irishmissionun⁩

So proud of my country. Thank you to everyone for the honour of being elected to the UN Security Council @irishmissionun United Nations

We visited the #SecurityCouncil chamber for the 1st time as members today!🇺🇳 As Amb. Byrne Nason said earlier: "We are here to make a difference, not to make up the numbers." These are unique, challenging times, but we come to the table with hope. We are ready. 🇮🇪 #IrelandUNSC

A huge loss. Jim was an outstanding diplomat and colleague. Deepest condolences to his family and you are in our thoughts. We will all miss him.

After meeting female finance leaders of Canada, the USA, Indonesia, and the IMF - I say this to women and girls everywhere: Let this picture show there should be no ceilings on your ambitions, hopes or dreams for the future.
