Ireland’s Foreign Policy in a Rapidly Changing World

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) works on a number of core areas of Ireland’s foreign policy, including: orientating an active and principled membership of the UN, EU and other international fora; delivering a high-quality international development programme; and expanding Ireland’s presence and influence abroad. Joe Hackett, the Secretary General of the DFA, will visit the University of Galway on the 22nd March to meet with students and faculty and discuss ‘Ireland’s Foreign Policy in a Rapidly Changing World’. Mr. Hackett will be welcomed by University President Ciarán Ó hÓgartaigh, and both will make short initial remarks, with Mr Hackett setting out the current priorities of the DFA’s work, followed by a Q&A moderated by Prof. John Morrissey. The Q&A will give colleagues and students the opportunity to engage on a range of urgent global security and development concerns.
