Borrisoleigh Active Social Club 

Borrisoleigh Active Social Club were delighted to receive an invitation from the Office of the Secretary General to the President of Ireland  to view the presentation of Credentials by new Ambassadors.

The ceremony is quite a formal one with an Army Guard of Honour which each of the Ambassadors will review.
When we arrive at Aras an Uachtarain Dublin on June 15 we will get a tour of the Aras and hopefully get to meet our President Michael D Higgins.
This is a day we are all looking forward to.
