To mark Ireland’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union, we asked people from every Member State to say an Irish phrase that captures who we are, in their own language. Ní neart go cur le chéile. Strength with unity. One phrase. One Europe.

On 1 July, Ireland takes over the Presidency of the Council of the EU for the 8th time. In an uncertain world, our strength is reinforced when we stand together. In Ireland, the seanfhocal or proverb “Ní neart go cur le chéile” reminds us that we have “Strength with unity”.

Very sad to hear of the death of Joe Veselsky in Dublin on 3 January. Holocaust survivor. Recipient of the Order of the Slovak National Uprising and the Order of the White Double Cross. Ireland’s oldest man and a tremendous contributor to Irish life and to Irish-Slovak relations.
