門ひろこさん@HirokoKado 、次を目指して頑張ってください。国政はますます門さんを必要とする状況になっていると思います。人生、山あり、谷あり。高く跳ぶためには、身をかがめなければならない時もある。応援しています。

友人の@Kado_Hirokoさん、何度、荻窪で、高井戸で駅頭に立っているのに出会ったことか。政策、人柄、覚悟。是非、国政で活躍して欲しいと思う人です。門さんの訴えが多くの人に届いているよう期待したいです。

Very wide ranging and productive discussion between Director General for Asia, Gerard Keown, and Director General Nakagome on 🇮🇪 - 🇯🇵 relations. Our relations continue to deepen, building on the recent Taoiseach’s visit and high level political visits. #GlobalIreland

Today I finished reading “One Good Day: My Journey to the Good Friday Agreement” by David Donoghue. First-hand account of twists and turns leading to this historical agreement. Worth reading at this juncture in NI situation and Anglo-Irish relationship.

Today I was honoured to sign the contract with Taisei to begin construction of the new Ireland House in Tokyo. This modern building will provide accommodation for the whole Irish government presence in Japan.
