Statement by Archbishop Charles Brown, Apostolic Nuncio to Ireland, on the decision to re-open Ireland’s embassy to the Holy See

I am very pleased by the announcement of the Irish Government regarding the reopening of a residential Embassy of Ireland to the Holy See, and the appointment of a resident Ambassador.  It is an excellent decision for the people of Ireland and will be beneficial to Ireland in making its distinctive and important contribution to international relations. We are all grateful to those who worked so hard to make this day possible.
