Ambassador Brendan Ward welcomed Jack Chambers, Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, during his short visit to Bucharest. A brief but important moment for strengthening 🇮🇪–🇷🇴 ties. #IrelandRomania

Today is #IDAHOT. As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Ireland’s marriage equality referendum, we reflect on progress made since in protecting LGBTQI+ rights - and the distance still to travel. And reaffirm our solidarity with LGBTIQ+ people here in Hungary & across the world.

Ireland is ranked the 6th most democratic nation on the planet in the latest report on global democracy by the V-Dem Institute at the University of Gothenburg. (Even better that the 8th place ranking from @TheEIU recently.) We should be proud of that 🇮🇪 https://t.co/wZFv3UcT8R
