"It’s also an important opportunity to promote Ireland and our values in what is undoubtedly a more challenging, turbulent and complex world.” A St Patrick’s Day message from Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, @HMcEntee

At a time of global turmoil and great challenge, we look for signs of hope in the everyday. To Irish people and friends of Ireland everywhere, we wish you a very happy St Patrick’s Day! Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh.

Great to welcome Minister of State @ThomasByrneTD to Bratislava today for consultations ahead of Ireland's EU Presidency later this year!

In Bratislava today, I met with members of the European Affairs Committee of the National Council of the Slovak Republic.   I welcomed the opportunity to set out Ireland’s ambitions for our EU Presidency and hear the views of members. 🇮🇪🤝🇸🇰🇪🇺 @IrlEmbSlovakia @IEAmbBratislava

Our sincere condolences to his family and to all those who knew him. Rest in Peace.

Very sad to hear of the death of Joe Veselsky in Dublin on 3 January. Holocaust survivor. Recipient of the Order of the Slovak National Uprising and the Order of the White Double Cross. Ireland’s oldest man and a tremendous contributor to Irish life and to Irish-Slovak relations.
