A message to all on Brigid's day

Feb 01, 2021

Today, February 1st marks Brigid's Day

We're making February all about Brigid – an opportunity for us at the Friends of Ireland, alongside the Embassy of Ireland, to join the global Irish diaspora to celebrate the talent and creativity of wahine, mná, women living throughout Aotearoa.

We are very excited to be launching the initiative on the Friends of Ireland platform, which will aim to showcase the journeys, stories, work, and ambitions of Friends of Ireland women currently living in Aotearoa.

A message for Friends of Ireland from Uachtarán Michael D. Higgins,

President of Ireland on Brigid's Day.
