Last morning of my week off well spent watching all of season 2 of #ThisWayUp Congratulations Aisling Bea and thanks to you and Sharon Horgan for this heartwarming, heartbreaking and really flipping funny show.

Great to welcome legendary British broadcaster Simon Calder to Ireland today. First day of the new international travel arrangements and he gave them a thumbs up. Amazing weather - as always in Ireland of course. Simon Calder Paul Charles Tourism Ireland

20 years ago today, I walked into this building for the first time along with Amanda Bane and Caitríona Ingoldsby Glad to say that all three of us are still going strong as - despite our youth- we look ahead to our 3rd decade of #workingforIRL

Kyrgyzstan: One year ago today, #AzimjonAskharov died in detention. My thoughts today are with his family, as we call on #Kyrgystan authorities to investigate his death and to legally rehabilitate him.

Overnight this evening in Copiapó in the north of Chile, a city famously associated with the rescue of 33 miners in 2010… and recalling the role in that effort of Irish company @MinconGroup, who designed the drill that made the breakthrough.

Today @ #UNSC: UNIFIL & the situation in #Lebanon. Ireland condemns rocket fire toward Israel from Lebanon & retaliatory fire from Israel. UNIFIL played a critical role containing these incidents. 🇮🇪 calls on parties to exercise restraint & cease violations of UNSCR 1701.
