Another great example of the global Donegal story in action. Tir Conaill Football Club's journey in Glasgow demonstrates the enduring strength of our diaspora and the importance of maintaining connections to home.

We were delighted to once again play host to the Tip O'Neill Irish Diaspora Awards at the Inishowen Gateway Hotel, Buncrana, County Donegal on Friday 25th September.

A massively successful night as we toasted and celebrated Kate Barton and Brendan 'Tiny' Vaughan, two excellent recipients with very different stories to tell. A mix that just went really well together.

It was a privilege to be part of President Catherine Connolly's visit to Scotland and to witness the warmth and genuine engagement she brought to the Irish community reception. The President took time to meet attendees from across the diaspora, listening to their stories and reaffirming the strong bonds that connect Irish communities around the world.

The impact of the 'Working Over By' exhibition was evident throughout that visit at the Mitchell Library and also during the President's speech, with guests reflecting on the enduring relationship between Donegal and Scotland, and the important role our diaspora continues to play in strengthening those ties.

We were also delighted to hear the President speak so fondly of the Donegal connection in Scotland, highlighting the deep sense of pride and affection that exists for our county both at home and abroad.

Events such as these provide valuable opportunities to celebrate our shared heritage, recognise the contribution of our diaspora, and continue building meaningful connections for future generations.

Thank you to Consulate General of Ireland, Edinburgh for having us be part of this momentous visit.
