Many different genres, all united by Lithuanian tradition.

Moreover, former Ambassador of Ireland to Lithuania H. E. Donal Denham will talk about amazing tourism opportunities for Irish tourists in Lithuania.

The Freedom way to commemorate the 31 anniversary of the Baltic way and support the Belarusians in their way to freedom and democracy took place on 23 August next to the House of the Irish Parliament. The event was organised by the Lithuanian Association in Ireland and gathered the members from the Lithuanian, Belarusian and Ukrainian communities in Ireland. Due to epidemiological situation and restrictions in Ireland not everybody could participate, yet people were actively supporting it and organising smaller gatherings in their towns or villages, home or public spaces. We strongly hope that this event and the aspiration for democracy, freedom and respect will strengthen the Belarusians community and the relations with the Lithuanian community in Ireland as well.

Former Ambassador of Ireland to Lithuania Donal Denham was awarded at the Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania on August 19th with the Medal of Honour Lithuanian Diplomacy Star for his contribution to developing bilateral relations.

During the ceremony of the Medal presentation, Ambassador of Lithuania in Ireland Egidijus Meilūnas said that Mr. Donal Denham greatly contributed to cooperation and partnership between the two countries during his tenure of office as the first resident Ambassador of Ireland to Lithuania. The Ambassador of Lithuania also expressed his appreciation to the former Ambassador for his current active input in developing bilateral economic relations, tourism in particular. Last year Ambassador Denham brought together a group of Irish nationals interested in Lithuania to establish the Lithuania- Ireland Network.

We cordially invite you to a virtual exhibition by Irish artist Tom Byrne "In the Spring of Two Modern Nations: Portraits of Irish and Lithuanian History". The exhibition was to be opened on 17 March, St. Patrick's Day in Vilnius, at Marija and Jurgis Šlapeliai museum, but unfortunately due to coronavirus and quarantine in Lithuania it was not possible. Thanks to the efforts of Jolanta Paškevičienė, Director of the Museum, and her collaborators, the exhibition has been moved online!

The Migration Department informs that foreigners, whose period of legal residence in Lithuania expired during the declared quarantine and who were unable to depart from the Republic of Lithuania in due time through no fault of their own, will not be subject to the return decisions, as well as administrative liability for illegal stay.

However, they will be required to depart after the end of the quarantine in the Republic of Lithuania within the established period of toleration (we will provide additional information on this in due course).
