We’re delighted to share the work of Irish librarian Colm O’Connor, creator of The Library After Dark: a free, immersive digital library that lets readers wander virtual bookshelves and discover classic works in a beautifully designed online space.

This week, Colm has opened a dedicated New Zealand Room, inspired by Aotearoa New Zealand’s landscapes, history and literary heritage. Featuring works by Katherine Mansfield, Lady Barker, Samuel Butler, F. E. Maning, William Pember Reeves, James Cowan and others, the room offers a fascinating introduction to New Zealand writing through a collection of public-domain classics.

Enter via the library’s Grand Hall, spin the globe, and take an Alice-in-Wonderland journey through the Earth to the Antipodes!

Ngā mihi to Colm for this creative celebration of New Zealand literature. We’d love to hear which New Zealand writer is your favourite.

A celebration sixty years in the making 🇳🇿 🇮🇪
Last week we celebrated 60 years of diplomatic relations between New Zealand and Ireland. Our countries may sit on opposite sides of the world, but we are connected by deep people-to-people ties, shared values, and a longstanding commitment to working together internationally.

The evening was a reminder that relationships like ours are sustained not only by official ties, but by the people who build bridges between nations every day, through business, education, science, culture, sport, and friendship.

Míle buíochas and ngā mihi nui to everyone who joined us. Here's to the next chapter in the New Zealand-Ireland story 🖤 💚

What started as a community coming together for breakfast and to watch the All Blacks v Ireland Test Match in July has become something truly special!

Thanks to the generosity of everyone who joined us at Suttonians RFC, enough funds were raised to purchase an adaptive tricycle for St Michael’s House Special School, Baldoyle. Recently, Ambassador Ange had the privilege of seeing it alongside Kevin from Variety Ireland. It was a moving reminder of the incredible difference that can be made when a community comes together.

This one trike will help provide opportunities for inclusion, independence, exercise and fun, bringing joy to students and the wider school community for years to come.
A heartfelt thank you to Variety Ireland, Suttonians RFC, and everyone who helped make this happen. 🚲✨🍀
