Cathaoirleach of Seanad Éireann, Senator Mark Daly extends greetings and good wishes to the people of Slovenia

The Cathaoirleach said: “Today Slovenia celebrates 30 years of Independence with their Statehood Day or Dan državnosti.   Ireland and Slovenia have since then developed close cultural, business and sporting links. The reopening this year by Slovenia of its embassy in Dublin is warmly welcomed and will help to facilitate the development of even closer ties between our two countries. 

Since Slovenia’s accession to the European Union in 2004 during the Irish presidency of the EU Council, our two countries have developed a close partnership. I, therefore, take this opportunity to extend to Ambassador Stanislav Vidovič, his team at the embassy, and the members of the Slovenian community living across Ireland congratulations on this special 30th anniversary of their independence.”
