Dia dhaoibh go léir. Fáilte go Ambasáid na hÉireann!

I am delighted to welcome you to the website of the Embassy of Ireland in Uganda which I hope you will find useful and informative. In addition to providing information on the services provided by the Embassy, it is a source of facts on Ireland and Uganda, and on the links between our two countries. Ireland has a long-standing and strong bilateral relationship with Uganda. With a history rooted in strong Irish Missionary engagement in providing education and health services throughout the country, our bilateral ties now cover many areas from political, development to trade. Our aim at the Embassy in Kampala is to maintain and develop close and co-operative relations between Ireland and Uganda, in accordance with Irish Government policies.  I hope you find it interesting!

The Convention of the Constitution 

The Chairman of the Convention on the Constitution, Tom Arnold (former CEO of Concern Worldwide) invites Irish citizens resident abroad to express their views on future Constitutional change:

“It is really important that we hear from Irish people where ever they are located. They will bring a valuable perspective to our deliberations and the Convention looks forward to hearing from them”.

Irish citizens living and working abroad are being encouraged to participate in what is an historic initiative in deliberative democracy. The Government has undertaken to respond, by way of Oireachtas debate, to each Convention recommendation within four months and if it agrees with a particular recommendation for change, to give a timeframe for a referendum.

The Convention’s plenary meetings are streamed live on the website and include views expressed via social media platforms. Details, including how to make a submission are available at:
