A strong focus on maritime security, cyber resilience and international cooperation. Ireland and Canada share many interests, not least the importance of protecting our maritime domain. I look forward to welcoming Prime Minister Mark Carney visits Ireland this weekend.

As Ireland prepares for the Presidency, working closely with trusted partners will be central to delivering on our shared priorities. That made yesterday’s meeting with Canada’s Minister of National Defence, David J. McGuinty, particularly timely 🇮🇪🇨🇦

Ireland understands both Europe and America, with economic, political and people-to-people ties. The West of Ireland is a thriving hub for transatlantic investment, innovation, and business. Thank you @HMcEntee for a practical and forward-looking contribution to the discussion.

I've never known an Ireland that wasn't part of the European Union. Europe isn't something distant. It's being part of something bigger.
