Minister Calleary visited Argentina as part of the Government’s St Patrick's Day missions
Minister of State Dara Calleary has laid a wreath at the grave of Foxford native, Admiral William Brown, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The visit comes as part of the Minister’s Latin American trip under the Government’s St Patrick's Day missions. He was joined by Argentinian municipal leaders from the region.
“The memory of Admiral Brown is truly revered here in Argentina. This Foxford native is an Argentinian national hero. I was honoured to be able to visit his grave and reflect on the extraordinary journey that brought him from Foxford to here” said Minister Calleary.
The minister also distributed pins that were especially commissioned by the Admiral Brown Society of Foxford, combining the Irish and Argentinian flags with an image of Admiral Brown.
Minister Calleary said the work of the Admiral Brown Society in Foxford is ‘sincerely appreciated and noticed in Argentina’.
“Many people have mentioned seeing the celebrations in Foxford during the last World Cup. These links are crucial for Mayo and for Ireland, and we must build on them ahead of the 250th anniversary of the Admirals birth in 2027” concluded Mr Calleary.
