St Brigid at the Department of Foreign Affairs, 2025

For Féile Bríde, a group of dedicated activists involved in Swords to Ploughshares gathered outside the Department of Foreign Affairs to bring a message of peace. 

Brigid was known for her compassion and tireless advocacy for the marginalised and has long been a symbol of strength, hope and resistance. She cared for the poor, nurtured the sick, championed human rights for all and stood staunchly for peace. 

Today, we call upon our leaders to honour Brigid’s way and will in their policies and in the stewardship of our country and the wider world. More than ever, we need to tend to the needs of our communities and the needs of our world and nurture seeds of peace and justice for the generations to come. #savethetriplelock #protectthetriplelock #peace
