When my son Huw met @PresidentOfBg , he was asked what football he team supports. Huw paused before saying Liverpool and we all knew that in those seconds Huw was weighing up the chances that the President of Bulgaria was referring to #GAA and should respond by saying #Dublin.
Well hello! I'm Catherine Bannon, the new Ambassador of Ireland to Bulgaria. I'm looking forward to getting to know this beautiful country and learn its language (сега не съм толкова добър в говоренето на български!). I come with a small entourage of GAA players / sons :-)
Just another day in the office!
#GirlsAtWork! Thrilled to be in my home county, Co. Louth. This morning in Carlingford with @dfatirl colleagues preparing for the visit by President Biden tomorrow. Exciting times!!🇮🇪☘️🇺🇸
The Dept of Foreign Affairs has said that one million Irish passports have been issued this year for the first time in history. The Passport Office said efforts have been made to improve turnaround times after delays earlier this year due to Covid-19 | bit.ly/3UePrbX
I remember when we moved back from China and I was sad that my air quality measuring egg was obsolete. Turns out I was just one gorse fire away from hazardous air quality. AQI 414?! It’s like Shanghai 2013 without the dumplings. #gorsefire #howth @DubFireBrigade
Bathed in smoke again tonight on the peninsula as the Howth gorse fires continue to burn. But I appreciated this video from the Dublin Fire Brigade. Good comms.
Four units are on scene at the Howth #wildfire this evening along with aerial support from @IrishAirCorps Station Officer Darren O'Connor provides an update on the firefighting operation
A great afternoon sharing thoughts on transparency, accountability and the excellentness of civil servants.
Thanks to all the panelists today for their ideas & opinions on the Future of FOI and for the work of FOI officers and decision makers. Great to hear the range of experience.👏Peter Tyndall @OICIreland Eithne Fitzgerald @Seamusdo @catbannon @fergusfinlay David Moloney @IRLDeptPER

The participation of women in peace processes changes outcomes. But how many women are involved high-level peace negotiations? Less than 6% of signatories to major peace deals are women.
#WPS is not abstract to us. Ireland 🇮🇪 has witnessed first-hand the transformative impact of including women at the negotiation table... building a common future, coming to terms with the past. 🕊️🌍 #WPSin2020 #WomenPeacePower #UNSCR1325
This is really clever - I like it.
Three wee superheroes here looking forward to their treasure hunt. It matters not from where the chocolate comes...
Wonderful speech by An Taoiseach this morning 💓
Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD says the genius of the Good Friday Agreement is that we can all work together for a shared future without in any way relinquishing our equally legitimate ambitions and beliefs; nationalist, unionist, or neither | bit.ly/31yp9Zf
Told Fionn (6) I was taking him to get his vaccinations tomorrow. He was strangely happy about it which surprised me. Turns out he thinks he’s getting the Covid vaccine. Might wait until after to tell him it’s the MMR booster. #badmom
Aodhan wanted in on the OPW action. There was a long discussion in our house this morning about whether skulls are a fossil fuel. @OptimisingPower @roinnslainte
This Saturday morning was brought to us by the OPW Green Halloween colouring competition @OptimisingPower
Thanks @dfatirl for 14 years of wild, crazy fun (and some PQs). And to my peeps in @PassportIRL, “above and beyond” doesn’t even begin to describe where you guys go in service of the Irish citizen. Proud to have counted myself among you #goodbyemyfriend #dfa4eva #ops2020
I just managed to book three weeks of camp for my kids - which means that for 50% of the summer, I can pretend like I have my shit together. Winning the euro millions would please me less. #thankthebejeesus
I was browsing my shelves for something new to read tonight. I feel like I need something light and whimsical. So naturally I’ve started The Shining. #thismaynotbewhimsical #upliftinghorror
A nice way to end my DFA career! I’m hoping someone asks me what I do in the next 3 weeks so I can say “I’m at the Foreign Office in a purely ornamental capacity” (read that line in an Agatha C novel)
“Passport office staff redeployed to Covid-19 roles.” A great article in today’s @IrishTimes highlighting how the dedicated teams @PassportIRL and @dfatirl adapted to the working challenges of COVID19 crisis. irishtimes.com/news/ireland/i…
Innovating our socks off...that's the technical term for it.
The @PassportIRL Operational Planning Group were delighted to present on innovative ways of working to the DFAT management board in @opwfarmleigh this morning
