Guests received a very warm Cead Míle Failte and enjoyed premium oysters from Tragheanna Bay, County Donegal, incredible Irish dairy products (delicious butters and cheeses from grass fed Irish cows) from which paired perfectly with Irish whiskey and Guinness! Whilst engaging with our team and learning about industry, education and trade in diverse modern Ireland. Thank you to all who came to say dia duit!
