Mary C. Murphy UK Labour winning c34%v, c64%s means disproportionality in region of 23.0 / 24.0 (LSq), higher than any other election in Europe. Exceptionally high for a democracy – assuming a country whose electoral system so distorts the voice of the people can be deemed a full democracy.
Just spoke with new UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy. There are many issues on our shared agenda, bilaterally & internationally. Looking forward to working together in partnership. We agreed this is a significant opportunity for a reset of bilateral relations.
Good call with the new British Prime Minister Keir Starmer tonight. We both agreed to a reset in Anglo Irish relations and I intend to apply myself to this with energy and vigour as it matters to people across our islands

Worth noting that Boston College, through the Irish Institute (established in 1997), went on to play a role in helping to support the peace process after the calling of the 1994 paramilitary ceasefires.
On this day 160 years ago, Boston College opened its doors on Harrison Avenue in Boston’s South End. Generations of Eagles later, these photos symbolize how BC continues to open doors today. Ever to Excel!
Many thanks to Sighle Fitzgerald and the Consul General of Ireland Síghle FitzGerald team for the warm welcome. I'm excited to work with Irish and US colleagues here in Boston in my role as Director of Boston College's Irish Institute.
