The role of Ireland’s Honorary Consuls is to provide support and assistance to Irish citizens in locations where an Irish diplomatic mission is not directly present. There are currently 10 Irish Honorary Consuls in the United States of America.
The San Diego region previously came under the jurisdiction of the Irish Consulate for the Western United States, located in San Francisco. With the recent opening of the Irish Consulate for the Southwestern United States, located in Los Angeles, the San Diego region is now under the jurisdiction of that Consulate.
In recognition of the San Diego region having California’s second largest city; its closeness to Mexico, an important trade partner and friend of Ireland’s; and the strength and vitality of its Irish and Irish American organizations, the Irish government decided to open an Honorary Consulate for the San Diego region, one of only ten such Consulates in the USA. In recognition of his involvement in the San Diego Irish community, the regard within which he is held in this community, and his many and notable achievements, in the Irish community and elsewhere, the Irish government has chosen Pat to be its first Honorary Consul for the San Diego region.
Our Goals:
(a) promote and assist in having greater cooperation among the various Irish and Irish American organizations in the San Diego region, and assisting these organizations in promoting and enhancing Irish culture;
(b) help increase and enhance Ireland’s trade and business in the San Diego region, and help reestablish an effective Irish business network in the San Diego region;
(c) increase Ireland’s visibility and profile with Mexico, help increase and enhance Ireland’s trade and business with Mexico, and increase cultural and friendship ties with it;
(d) increase Ireland’s visibility and profile with the twenty-six Consulates in the San Diego region, have greater involvement with them, and increase cultural and friendship ties with them.
We work closely with our Embassy and with Irish state agencies across the US to promote Ireland in a variety of ways.
The Consulate works with Ireland’s Embassy and other Consulates and State Agencies to pursue opportunities that will deliver economic growth and jobs for Ireland. We also help maintain and enhance links with our Irish-American diaspora and promote Irish culture in new and traditional forms.
