Happy St. Patrick’s Day – Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh

It’s been a difficult few years for Irish citizens and businesses since the austerity measures were put in place 6 years ago. Whether the blame lies with the global economic crisis, the domestic banking scandals or a lack of strategic political direction, there is no doubt that we have all been affected in some way or another.

Ireland is country where people pull together and get on with the job at hand and we are hoping that the green shoots that we see rising is a hopeful sign of better things to come.

No matter what, no matter which country you are from or which country you are in, finding a reason to be proud gives strength and inspiration to move forward and overcome the hurdles that we all encounter. We couldn’t sum it up better than how this video – IRELAND INSPIRES, from Fáilte Ireland, captures the essence of what Ireland is about.

Irrespective of your connection with Ireland – we wish you a healthy, happy and a fun St. Patrick’s Day.
