So sad to hear of the passing of the great Africa statesman Kenneth Kaunda. I remember him fondly from my days in Zambia. With his signature white handkerchief & his ever cheerful disposition his vegetarianism was also a source of inspiration. A much respected figure in Africa

Canโ€™t believe it has been two full years! ๐Ÿ˜ฏ #OTD 14 June 2019 I was in Cork to bid farewell at the end of a great state visit to Ireland by King Willem-Alexander and Queen Mรกxima of the Netherlands! The impact of that visit was huge in terms of strengthening ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ relations!

So sad this evening at the passing of an Irish icon. From first time I saw her live in my student days I have loved the truth and beauty of her voice. Sleep now Sinรฉad. Sinรฉad Oโ€™Connor, acclaimed Dublin singer, dies aged 56

I laid a wreath this morning at the Auschwitz Never Again monument in Amsterdam. Beautiful ceremony in remembrance of the liberation of the Concentration Camp on this day 74 years ago. Thanks Nederlands Auschwitz Comitรฉ for all that you do to make sure we will never forget.

This photo of the disappearing path from @LovinDublin is a favourite spot in Sandycove not far from where I live in Dun Laoghaire. At a time like this it makes me a little nostalgic for home... Since he was a little boy, my son runs to the end and says he has reached Landโ€™s End!

In the Hague Ireland just voted to support the decision to strengthen the norm against use of #chemicalweapons & to establish a new independent attribution mechanism in the #OPCW . This is an important step to end impunity for the use of CWs. @IrelandinNL @disarmamentIRL @dfatirl

I also took opportunity to call out what has been obvious to all this week. A lack of gender diversity in the leadership of the @OPCW organisation. We need to do better.
