Rev Mullaney hosted the Tánaiste on a tour of the historic St Patrick’s campus which has been educating people from Ireland and overseas since 1795. Rev Mullaney commented that he was delighted to get the opportunity to meet with Mr Varadkar and give him a flavour of the rich educational heritage of St Patrick’s and the difference it has made not just in Ireland but through its alumni across the globe.

During a tour of the Maynooth campus, the Tánaiste met with Dr Jessie Rogers, Dean of the Faculty of Theology and other faculty members and got to see some rare collections in the Russell Library from Hugh Murphy, Head of Collections & Content. Rev Tom Surlis, Rector of St Patrick's National Seminary, Maynooth also met with Mr Varadkar who got to speak with some of the current seminarians.
