Welcome Message
I am delighted to welcome you to the website of the Embassy of Ireland in Malta. I hope that you will find it a useful source of information about Ireland, the Embassy’s bilateral work here, and the services provided by the Embassy.
It is a great honour to represent Ireland as Ambassador in Malta and, with the Embassy team, to continue our work to strengthen relations between both countries. As President Higgins said during his State Visit to Malta in 2022, our two island nations share many historical experiences, rich ancient cultural heritages, and many shared values and interest as fellow members of the European Union and the United Nations.
My aim will be to continue the excellent work of my predecessors to further develop the economic, political and cultural relations between Ireland and Malta.
To our Irish citizens, whether you are a permanent or temporary resident, or a short-term visitor here, it is important that we are able to assist you in any consular issues that may arise, and therefore we would ask you to take the time to register with the Embassy through the Department’s online system.
If you would like any further information on our services please contact us.
I encourage you to keep up to date with our work through our social media accounts on Twitter @IrishEmbMalta or Facebook Embassy of Ireland in Malta | Facebook
Le gach dea-ghuí,
Caroline Whelan
