My trip home to Ireland embodied céad míle fáilte – a hundred thousand welcomes.
It’s been great to see so many old friends and family – and make some new ones.
Like my Grandfather used to say: “If you're lucky enough to be Irish, you're lucky enough.”

Ireland has one of the lowest levels of air pollution in all of Europe. Thanks to our geography and increasingly strict regulation, less than 1% of Irish people are exposed to harmful levels of pollution compared to over three-quarters of those living elsewhere in the EU. 🇮🇪🇪🇺🌬️

The Irish are the most optimistic people in Western Europe about the year ahead. 65% of us say it will be a better year than it was in 2022 according to new research from @Ipsos. Across Europe, only Hungarians are more positive. 🇮🇪🥳 #positiveIreland

Ireland's economy is forecast to grow faster than that of any other @OECD nation in 2023. Growth of 3.8% in GDP will exceed that of 38 other developed nations. Yes, domestic spending growth will be less, but this is a fabulous place to be by any reckoning
