Message from the Ambassador
I am delighted to welcome you to the website of the Embassy of Ireland in Canada.
This Embassy represents Ireland in Canada and also in Jamaica and The Bahamas. Our role is to develop Irelands’ relations and foster mutual understanding with the governments and peoples of Canada, Jamaica and the Bahamas.
The Embassy is greatly assisted by the strong historical ties and thriving Irish communities in Canada and by our developing relations with our Caribbean partners. My colleagues and I look forward to working with all of you during our time here.
I very much hope that you find this website to be useful and informative. If you have comments about our website or require further information on Ireland, please contact the Embassy.
