    Less than 1% of the world's 25.4 million refugees get to university. Scholarships like these are a brilliant way to improve that dire statistic. Thank you 👏🏼🎓

    We've had feedback over the last week that some people are unhappy with our plan to offer up to 14 scholarships to refugees living in the local area. To these people, we would like to say: Tough. Jog on.

    What do you get when you mix , , and 150 diplomats together? An Irish Security Council seat? 🇮🇪 Nothing's for sure, but that's not a terrible way to start an campaign!

    A big thank you to U2 for bringing more than 150 UN diplomats to their concert at Madison Square Garden last night. A great start to our campaign for Ireland to win an elected seat on the UN Security Council. ⁦⁩
