Last night we celebrated Ambassador McKee and his wife Mrs. Mary McGillis-McKee as they approach the end of their posting. Thank you to all those who came to say farewell as we recognized Amb. Ambassador Eamonn McKee and his dedication to the Irish in Canada.

Happy to have assisted Ann Hui with her excellent “Orange v Green” piece of Irish-Canadian history in today’s The Globe and Mail when #Toronto was known as The #Belfast of #Canada . #cdnhist #irishincanada York University News Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies Ambassador Eamonn McKee

A pleasure to return to Carlingford, Louth County Council , the birthplace of Thomas D’Arcy McGee and home of the annual Summer School in his name. La relation 🇨🇦🇮🇪 bénéficie énormément du travail de terrain de Carlingford Heritage, qui consacre du temps à honorer ces liens. Great speakers!

Congratulations and 🙏 my dear colleague and friend on a truly outstanding posting in 🇨🇦 advancing mutual understanding, partnership and friendship. Félicitations pour tes nombreuses contributions et bonne continuation. Global Affairs Canada

Our countries have ties that cannot be broken and your work here made them so much stronger. Canadians from across the country are grateful. Thank you my friend.

As Ambassador Eamonn McKee takes his leave from Ottawa, we thank him for his service in Canada and his unwavering support for Irish Studies here, especially at our 2022 and 2023 conferences. God speed you, Dr McKee. Slán agus beannacht! Ambassador Eamonn McKee Irish Embassy Canada #irishincanada

Finally acquired a photo of Thomas D’Arcy McGee, to hang in the Residence. One of the most influential Irish figures in Canadian history. Thanks to mcgahernbooks.ca antiquarian books, a terrific resource during my time in Ottawa.
