Irelands Minister for the Diaspora TD Colm Brophy was at the Consulate General of Ireland in New York City on October 20 to meet with representatives of the groups who are recipients of grants from the Emigrant Support Programme (ESP). The funding was announced earlier in the day on Wednesday - more than $1.1 million will be dispersed to some two dozen groups in the New York area that span in interest from the arts, to mental health, to, of course, immigration and pastoral services. It goes without saying that the past year or so was a difficult one.

First things first, writing about politics, its abracadabra, its luggage and attendant baggage, is not what I do (as one left that forte years ago.) And the primary reason for not writing about Nigerian, African or global politics is that as any noteworthy writer and strategic thinker who is worth his or her salt would attest to, you see and can connect the dots long before the citizenry understand what politicians are cooking, serving and dishing out to them. Basically put, writing about politics is not usually intellectually engaging because it is usually dj vu (if you know or have read the history of the particular context and subject matter). But there are exceptions to the rule where a writer sees patterns others might not have seen and would have to highlight it.

Since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a number of travel restrictions and regulatory enforcements that have hindered business expansion across geographic borders. In that complex backdrop, The Hague Business Agency is helping entrepreneurs in India create a path for businesses in the European Union (EU) with its Digital Softlanding Program. We believe that even in COVID-19 times, we must support entrepreneurs to keep exploring new opportunities and markets, says Anesh Kisoen, International Business Advisor Tech, The Hague Business Agency, in his Masterclass session at TechSparks 2021, India's most influential startup-tech conference, organised by YourStory.
