2024 marks 50 years of diplomatic relations between Singapore and Ireland. To commemorate this milestone and affirm our strong Irish ties, LASALLE welcomed a visit from Hildegarde Naughton, Government Chief Whip and Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach and Department of Health, Ireland.

‍

The Minister was accompanied by HE Sarah McGrath, Ambassador of Ireland to Singapore, and a delegation from the Embassy. During the visit, the group viewed Brother Joseph McNally's artworks and artifacts at the Octagon Room in The Ngee Ann Kongsi Library, learned about LASALLE's history and Brother McNally's legacy, and discussed opportunities for collaboration.

In conjunction with the Minister's visit, it was announced that LASALLE will be creating an artwork for the Embassy's new office at Cross Street. The project will be led by Senior Fellow Milenko Prvacki and unveiled later this year.
