Speech at Community Day Garden Party at Áras an Uachtaráin

The final event in the 2016 series of Garden Parties is the Community Day party.

Each year, President and Sabina Higgins open up Áras an Uachtaráin for a series of Garden Parties celebrating the work of people and organisations active on themes of citizenship and community - themes that are central to the Presidency of Michael D. Higgins.

The Community Day event pays tribute to communities, voluntary groups and active citizens, "wherever they are working, in whatever way”

This year, the President arranged for the France vs. Ireland soccer match to be shown at the event.
