Ireland's Future

This month the American Irish State Legislators Caucus held a zoom, where we were honoured to be joined by the Irish Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment and Robert Leslie, Head of Counsel, West Virginia Legislature and the Chair of the Senate of Ireland, Mark Daly. 

Presidential inaugurations are about continuity but also change. They remind us that each generation must redefine what Ireland means – and who it includes.

This week, those of us working for unity and the building of a 32-county Irish Republic had reason to celebrate: the inauguration of Catherine Connolly as Uachtarán na hÉireann (Irish President).
