Fáilte ón Ard-Chonsal/Welcome from the Consul General
Céad míle fáilte!
On behalf of the team at the Consulate General of Ireland in Atlanta, welcome to our website.
It is a great honour for me to represent Ireland as Consul General in Atlanta and in the US Southeast. The Consulate is currently responsible for Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. The US Southeast is an incredibly diverse and dynamic region, bursting with economic potential and rich culture, and with deep links to Ireland going back centuries. The team in the Consulate are honoured to serve our citizens, to engage with the Irish community and those of Irish heritage, and to strengthening the links between Ireland and the Southeast.
I hope you find this website useful and informative. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with the Consulate if you need information about Ireland, if you need consular assistance, or if you would like to make a proposal or suggestion.
