Germany88. Italia 90. USA94. O’Leary’s penalty. Houghton’s looping header. Whelan’s goal against the USSR. McGrath holding the line. Matching the world’s football elite. Hugging strangers with joy. For such golden memories, thank you, Jack Charlton.

Summer in Dublin. Spotting the @SeoulGaelsGAA crest in the @CrokePark Club Wall. And then enjoying the excellent Korean cuisine in the recently opened @ChimacDublin in Aungier Street. Highly recommended.

With commercial flights from Korea reducing we have prepared a summary of the remaining routes to Ireland for anyone planning to return home. This is not definitive and can change at short notice so contact your airline directly. Securing the onward booking to Dublin is essential

Good luck to Yoonki Lee, an International Relations student at Hanyang University, who will represent Ireland at the Model European Union next week! It was great to meet Yoonki to discuss Ireland’s role in the EU and our approach to the challenges presented by climate change.

Great catching up with Soonie Delap, Principal of the Hangeul School Dublin, on a visit to Seoul. We’re standing in front of a photo of the School which Soonie reminded me was taken a few years back by another longtime friend of the Embassy, Tom Coyner.

A moving, memorable service of thanksgiving at Myeongdong Cathedral on Saturday, marking the end of the centenary celebrations of the founding of the Missionary Society of St. Columban–a group of men and women which has given such distinguished service in Korea for many decades.
