Leaders like HE @mariammalmheiri exemplify the central role that Emirati women play in shaping the UAE’s future ambitions. I really enjoyed reconnecting with her this week to hear more about her vision for 2PointZero and where 🇮🇪 can engage. As ever lots of opportunities.
Almost 2 years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting an incredible group of women, determined to lift women’s rugby in Ireland back to the top table - where it belongs. Today, with their fantastic victory against Japan, they well and truly achieved that. Maith sibh 👏🏉🇮🇪
