Citizenship ceremonies are a “sharp reminder” of the importance of diversity in Ireland at a time of debate about refugees. Justice Minister Simon Harris has said.
He made the comments as 1,500 people from 100 countries across the world were conferred as Irish citizens at ceremonies in Dublin’s RDS on Friday.
While venues in Dublin, such as the EPIC Museum and Croke Park, played host to virtual Citizenship Ceremonies during the course of the pandemic, it was the first time in-person ceremonies have been hosted in Dublin since September 2018.
