Barbara Nolan | Head of the European Commission Representation in Ireland
The Goethe Institute is a gem in the heart of Dublin. The European Commission Representation in Ireland has worked closely with the Institute, not least in promoting language learning and our joint activities on Dublin’s annual Culture Night. Our close proximity – and the Institute’s impeccable renovation - can only help to strengthen our close collaboration in years to come. I would like to wish the Goethe Institute every success as it looks ahead to the next 60 years in Ireland, not least in promoting the German language, deepening cultural exchanges, and helping broaden our understanding of what it means to be European.
