Irish community in South Africa are back in action, filling an exciting cultural calendar. This week, we celebrated #StBrigidsDay in #Capetown w/ Clare Timoney Nel in Irish owned #TheBailey restaurant. Rachel Nicholson gave us a behind the scenes look at how success is built!

It was a great pleasure to meet with her Excellency, Fionnuala Gilsenan, this afternoon to discuss expanding co-operation between the Western Cape Gov and Irish Embassy Pretoria to grow our respective economies, for the mutual benefit of our residents.

On #IWD2023 it was timely to reflect on the profound contributions women make to peace & security while not being blind to the extraordinary hurdles that are daily placed in our way.
