St. Patrick's Day 2024
On 15 March, the Embassy hosted its reception to celebrate Ireland's national day, St. Patrick's Day.
The Embassy was delighted to host its annual St. Patrick’s Day reception on 15 March in Kaiserstein Palace. This was Ambassador Gibbons’s first St. Patrick’s Day as Ambassador of Ireland to the Czech Republic, and it was wonderful to join together with friends of Ireland and members of the Irish community to mark the occasion.
The event began with remarks by Ambassador Gibbons and Minister for European Affairs, Martin Dvořák, who kindly joined the St. Patrick’s Day festivities. Both the Ambassador and Minister spoke about the enduring links between Ireland and the Czech Republic.
Music was provided by harpist Jana Šouflová and pianist Ráchel Skleničková.
Attendees included members of Irish community organisations, representatives from the political, business, academic and administration communities, civil society, and other friends of Ireland.
