This Easter, Ireland’s inspirational President Michael D. Higgins has encouraged anyone with a connection to Ireland to shine a light this evening at 9pm GMT.
You can hear his full broadcast below. He specifically mentions the Irish diaspora of 75 million people, many of whom have Irish roots, and of course may be members of the Society.
The Council of the Irish Genealogical Research Society is particularly thinking of all our members on this Easter weekend and hope that we’ll soon be able to gather together again and share our love of genealogy. If you click on the candle to the left, it will flicker.
