Department of Foreign Affairs, Ireland

In a significant deepening of Ireland’s engagement with Italy, the opening of Ireland’s first Consulate General in Milan was marked with a welcome reception for the new Consul General Maria Sheehy and farewell to the outgoing Honorary Consul of 30 years, Antonia Marsaglia. In attendance were key political, cultural, and economic contacts in Northern Italy.   Ireland’s Ambassador to Italy, Patricia O’Brien said “The Government’s decision to open a Consulate General in Milan is testament to the importance that Ireland places on its relationship with Italy. The Consulate’s opening brings much opportunity for deeper and stronger engagement with the North of Italy. This builds on the dedication and work of Antonia Marsaglia, who has been a wonderful Honorary Consul for Ireland in Milan for over thirty years. I warmly welcome Consul General Maria Sheehy and Deputy Consul General Frank Bradley as the newest members of Team Ireland in Italy.”   The new mission will be led by Consul General Maria Sheehy, who said, “I am excited to start work as Ireland’s first Consul General in the North of Italy. Milan is at the centre of economic activity in Italy, and is home to dynamic fashion, technological, food and industrial sectors. It also a hub for the vibrant Irish community in northern Italy. I look forward to working with the city and regional authorities to deepen and strengthen our links in Milan and the wider Northern regions.”   While the Consulate General in Milan is in its initial set-up phase, those with consular services, visa or passport queries should continue to first contact the Embassy of Ireland in Rome.   Further updates on the Consulate General’s public functions will issue on social media and on its website: Ireland.ie/milan   (Traduzione in italiano nei commenti.)
