Today @IrishEmbJapan bade farewell to Ambassador Paul and Rosemary Kavanagh. They return to Ireland where he will be Chief of Protocol. A famed diplomatic couple, a team for Ireland. Here they are in wintry Matsue in 2021 & in Beijing in 1980. Godspeed to both of you! @dfatirl

Congratulations to New Zealand on a very strong victory. It was not Ireland’s day. But in the stadium, one was rightly proud of these brave young men who don the green jersey and of the stalwart Irish support @IrishRugby @leinsterrugby @Munsterrugby @UlsterRugby @connachtrugby

Iwate Town hosted the base camp for Ireland’s women’s hockey team in the #Tokyo2020 Olympics, where they are still remembered warmly! The whole of Iwate Town has now become Ireland’s biggest fans since the team trained there in August last year #TeamIreland
