President hosts a Garden Party focused on the Sustainable Development Goals

On 9 June, President Michael D. Higgins hosted a garden party to acknowledge individuals and organisations working to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals agreed in New York in September, 2015.

Each year, the President and Sabina Higgins host a series of Garden Parties, to celebrate the work of people and organisations active on themes that are central to the Presidency of Michael D. Higgins. The Garden Parties continue the tradition of past Presidents and this year the President and Sabina will welcome over 4,000 people from all over the island of Ireland to their residence in the Phoenix Park.
