Over 500 guests attended the evening of festivities, including Irish government officials, diplomatic corps, and members of the Irish-American community, and the festivities kicked off with a traditional flag-raising ceremony, followed by the singing of the national anthem by a local choir.
The Ambassador’s address highlighted the strong ties between the United States and Ireland and the importance of maintaining this relationship for years to come, and guests enjoyed a variety of American and Irish delicacies, including hot dogs, hamburgers, corn on the cob, and then of course in Dublin, Guinness. The event also featured live music performances by Irish and American artists, showcasing the cultural exchange between the two nations.
Among the attendees were a wide range of Irish & US dignitaries, who praised the Ambassador for strengthening the bilateral relationship between their countries.
Conor O’Byrne, CEO at RelateCare headed up a group of executives and key team members in attendance at the event and commented.
“In terms of business and commerce, the US-Ireland relationship is as strong as it has ever been, and I commend the Ambassador for her tireless work promoting our Irish businesses to the US and vice versa.
“RelateCare’s expansion into the US market has been a story of success over the past more than two decades and we look forward to many more positive years with our US partners.”
In March 2023 RelateCare announced the expansion of its American operations by creating 255 new jobs within three years at its second US site in Sherwood, Arkansas. As a homegrown Irish organization increasingly focused on growing in the U.S., RelateCare’s robust platform continues to drive solutions and create value for our healthcare clients across the United States.
