President hosts an Afternoon Tea Reception

Each year about 20,000 people visit the formal rooms of the Áras.

Many of these come as guests to events hosted by President and Sabina Higgins, aimed at recognising the work of voluntary organisations, community groups and groups of active citizens that work to build a better Ireland.

 

"These tea receptions are occasions to pay tribute to people of all ages and circumstances who are doing so much to build solidarity and cohesion in our country. To all of you who care for others, who offer friendship and support, please accept my sincere thanks as Uachtarán na hÉireann."

President Michael D. Higgins, 10 May 2016
