Happy International #EducationDay! Months of work with #Nigeria drafting the resolution, convening 58 co-sponsors, and hosting not one, but TWO, side events led to this! 🙌January 24th = International Day of Education 📚 #SDG4

Thank you @MaryCMurphy of @BC_Irish_Inst for moderating a wonderful conversation to mark 100 years of diplomatic relations between Ireland and the US.

By reflecting on our shared history, we are also looking ahead to strengthening 🇺🇸-🇮🇪 cultural, political, and economic bonds.

Heartening to find these beautifully designed stamps from An Post marking the Centenary of Irish-US relations. They symbolise not only our shared history but the enduring friendship, spirit, and hope that bind our nations. May they travel the world carrying our story forward 🇮🇪🇺🇸

Irish women are amongst the most highly educated in the world. Two-thirds of those aged 25-34 have at least a bachelor's degree. Amongst European and OECD countries, only in Lithuania are more young women so well educated. 🇮🇪👩‍🎓

As an Ambassador, wife, and mother, I am so lucky to have started out after the removal of the Marriage Bar.

Thanks to all who worked for that 50 years ago.
