Ireland-India Council Summer Lecture
“Irish-Indian Relations: Past Present and Future”
By
Mr Kieran Dowling, former Ambassador of Ireland to India (2004-2008)

Coming now to the theme, the Indo-Irish relationship of course goes back a very long way. As I
said, I will leave to the historians the carefully researched historical accounts, including the task of
documenting and interpreting the contributions, for both good and ill, which Irish men and women
made to British, colonial, India, through both the Civil Service and the Army.
