Taoiseach Enda Kenny
Because of the short timeframe involved, invitations are being handled by the various Irish organizations in the Seattle area, and each Irish organization is authorized to issue invitations to a limited number of their members and volunteers.
If you are interested in attending the Irish Community Reception for An Taoiseach, please without delay contact the Irish organization where you are involved as a member or volunteer and request an invitation. We plan to confirm all invitations no later than March 19.
A native of Castlebar, Co. Mayo, Mr. Kenny became Taoiseach in 2011 and he will be the first serving Taoiseach to pay an official visit to Seattle. He will be accompanied here by Michael Collins, Ambassador of Ireland to the United States, and by Gerry Staunton, Consul General of Ireland for the Western US. |
