Justice Minister Helen McEntee, who attended the ceremony as the chief guest, said that while millions of Irish people migrated to other countries in the past, many people are now very happy to come to Ireland. It is very important that 20% of the people living in Ireland are not born in this country, but their culture and heritage should be integrated with the Irish culture. Helen McEntee said that citizenship is now a reward for Irish immigrants.
