Great to spend a few days with Ireland CG Atlanta & Irish Consulate Miami reviewing 🇮🇪 operations & strategy in US south east

Enormous potential to grow our economic, cultural & policy partnerships

Privileged to see the Harry Clarke Geneva window & exhibit in The Wolfsonian–FIU - unmissable!

I strongly condemn Iran’s attack on Israel. My thoughts are with the Israeli people at this time.

The scale and intensity of the attack represents a flagrant threat to international peace and security and is utterly unacceptable.

My full statement ⬇️

Congratulations to Simon Harris TD on becoming Ireland's new Taoiseach.

We value our partnership and thank Ireland for its consistent support as Ukraine defends itself against Russian aggression and pursues EU accession.

I am confident that our active bilateral cooperation…

#Eidmubarak2024 to all my followers who celebrate

Thinking particularly of friends & colleagues in Palestine at this time

In The Hague this morning, it was great to get the chance to chat to International Criminal Court Registrar Osvaldo Zavala Giler.

Ireland continues to be a key donor to the #ICC , with a further €3m this year to assist in the investigation of the world’s most serious international crimes.

Today we are thinking of all affected by the distressing events at Viertola school in Vantaa. Our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of the student who died; to the students injured and their families and the wider school community. We hold all impacted in our thoughts.

Good discussions also with the Jordanian & Egyptian FMs, incl on ceasefire/hostage release talks, humanitarian access to Gaza & how 🇮🇪 can best support the Arab Peace Plan

Appreciate 🇯🇴 🇪🇬 tireless commitment to a political solution to this brutal war

Ayman Safadi Egypt MFA Spokesperson

Good call with new #Palestinian PM Mustafa

I congratulated him on his appointment, briefed him on 🇮🇪 intervention on ICJ case & work with EU like-minded on 🇵🇸 issue, incl recognition

We discussed urgent humanitarian situation in #Gaza , Arab Peace Plan & new 🇵🇸 gov priorities

Great to catch up with Kitty van der Heijden, a great friend and colleague since Rio + 20 days, via coinciding during our respective postings to Addis Ababa!

Really inspiring to get a comprehensive update on UNICEF’s indefatigable work on behalf of children globally

Important decision that Ireland will intervene in the South Africa v Israel case at the ICJ

Accountability is the cornerstone of international law & the functioning of the global multilateral system; in respect of all parties to all conflicts, state and non-state actors alike

The UN Security Council has finally made an unambiguous demand for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza

This cannot come soon enough

An end to this conflict, the immediate & unconditional release of hostages, and full, safe, unhindered humanitarian access is vital.

I am shocked by the horrific scenes of the indiscriminate attack in Moscow tonight. Targeting civilians can never be justified in any circumstances. I extend my condolences to all those who have lost loved ones.

Today, Secretary Antony Blinken welcomed 🇰🇷, 🇯🇵, 🇵🇱, 🇫🇮, 🇩🇪, and 🇮🇪 as members of the Joint Statement on Efforts to Counter the Proliferation and Misuse of Commercial Spyware. Together, the 17 joint statement countries commit to tackling the threats posed by commercial spyware. Read more:…

#StPatricksDay

Today, Minister Helen McEntee TD is attending the Commission on the Status of Women.

As leaders gather for #CSW68 , the #UNSC meets to discuss serious report by USG SRSG Ms. Patten on sexual violence in Israel & the OPT.

Ireland’s view is clear - sexual violence is abhorrent & unacceptable.

Today, Helen McEntee TD & Fergal Mythen - Ambassador of Ireland to the UN attended the opening of the Commission on the Status of Women #CSW68 .

Thousands of delegates gather this week to demonstrate their commitment to #genderequality .

🇮🇪 looks forward to engaging with UN Member States & civil society this session.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Privileged to work with so many brilliant & committed female colleagues in Irish Foreign Ministry

#IWD

Ireland has decided to open an embassy in Moldova and I have personally thanked Taoiseach Leo Varadkar for this important step.

Our countries are already very close thanks to a vibrant Moldovan community living in Ireland. An embassy will bring us even closer together.

On the eve of #IWD2024 , SRSG’s Patten’s report on Israel & the OPT is an essential reminder that sexual violence in conflict is abhorrent & unacceptable

Too many women & girls globally are targeted consistently & systematically

Rape as a weapon of war is unconscionable
