A 20-strong delegation from County Carlow in Ireland has been in Luxembourg for the past few days, cementing ties between Ireland and the Grand Duchy; their primary objective was to engage with key institutions to learn about best practices in economic development, innovation and enterprise support, and to explore potential collaborations between the two regions.
The ties stem primarily from Luxembourg's patron saint, St Willibrord, who hailed from Northumbria in England, being trained and ordained in Carlow between 678AD to 690AD.
