DONEGAL’S Charlie McConalogue will travel to Columbia for St Patrick’s Day to promote Ireland this St Patricks Day.
The Junior Minister is one of 38 representatives of the State who will visit more than 90 cities in 40 countries as part of the St Patrick’s Day programme for 2025.
In addition, Taoiseach Micheál Martin will travel to Washington, DC, and Texas, and Tánaiste Simon Harris will travel to Philadelphia and New York.
In a statement released yesterday afternoon the Department of Foreign Affairs described this as a unique opportunity to promote Ireland’s interests around the world and to promote Ireland as a place to invest, visit, work or study.
“The St Patrick’s Day programme offers an unparalleled opportunity to build relationships with key political and business leaders, decision makers, and cultural and academic partners; to communicate the consistent, principled and constructive approach that characterises our foreign policy; to celebrate Ireland’s contemporary and traditional arts, culture and heritage; and to highlight the achievements and impact of our Global Ireland strategy.”
