Today we celebrate St Brigid of Kildare, a woman of strength, compassion and quiet power. A leader, a changemaker, and a champion for justice long before the language existed.

Her legacy of care, courage and community lives on in the work of Soroptimist International Republic of Ireland, as Soroptimists across Ireland continue to advocate for women and girls, locally, nationally and globally.

May this day remind us of the power of women coming together with purpose, kindness and conviction.

Today marked an exciting milestone as our first two regional finals took place in Athlone and Maynooth. These were the first of our four regional finals, and what a start to the journey.

Now in its 45th year, the competition continues to go from strength to strength, with the standard rising year after year.

Today’s finalists delivered exceptional, confident speeches, and we were delighted to see the first outing of our new impromptu topic, showcasing quick thinking, clarity, and courage under pressure.

The road to the Mansion House on 7 March is well and truly underway, and we cannot wait to see what the remaining regional finals will bring.

Progressing from the Kildare final is Lucy Anne Greene from Newbridge College, Newbridge and Clodagh Roche from Colaiste Bride, Enniscorthy. Progressing from the Athlone final are Ellen Brennan, Our Lady's Bower, Athlone and Iseult McDonnell, Greenhill, Drogheda.

Congratulations to all who took part today and to our qualifiers!

Today we mark Nollaig na mBan, a day rooted in recognition, rest, and appreciation for women.

At SIROI, we take this moment to acknowledge the leadership, compassion, and collective action of women across our network and communities.

May this day offer space to pause, reflect, and celebrate one another.

Inniu déanaimid ceiliúradh ar Nollaig na mBan, lá a thugann aitheantas, buíochas agus spás do mhná.

Ag SIROI, aithnímid an ceannaireacht, an trua agus an tionchar a chruthaíonn mná inár bpobal gach lá.

Go raibh an lá seo ina nóiméad machnaimh agus ceiliúrtha daoibh uile.

Lighting Ireland Orange for the 16 Days of Activism

Across Ireland, public buildings glowed bright orange last night, a colour now recognised around the world as a symbol of hope, visibility, and a future free from violence against women and girls.

From national landmarks to county buildings and local centres, each orange light represents a community choosing to shine a spotlight on an issue too often kept in the shadows.

Thank you to all the councils, partners, and supporters who helped light Ireland in solidarity.

Day 2 -

Online violence doesn't stay online. What starts as digital harassment often escalates into real-world consequences. Cyberstalking, online threats, and doxxing create genuine fear and put people safety at risk. Knowing how to protect yourself and your devices will help you stay safe SI Ireland
