Esta visita de Estado abrange as amplas e cada vez mais profundas relações entre os Países Baixos e a Irlanda do ponto de vista político, económico,social e cultural. Em parte, devido ao iminente (?) Brexit, os Países Baixos e a Irlanda estão activamente a encontrar novos mercados e a desenvolver relações com outros países da Europa. A Holanda e a Irlanda têm muito em comum e compartilham muitas ideias e parecerias em comum no seio da UE. No campo económico, a Irlanda tem sido uma das economias que mais crescem na Europa há muitos anos e os Países Baixos actuam como uma importante ponte comercial da Irlanda para a Europa continental. Ao mesmo tempo, tanto a Holanda quanto a Irlanda enfrentam importantes desafios sociais daí a importância desta troca de experiências e partilha ao mais alto nível.
This State visit covers the broad and ever-deepening relations between the Netherlands and Ireland from a political, economic, social and cultural point of view. Partly because of the imminent (?) Brexit, the Netherlands and Ireland are actively finding new markets and developing relationships with other European countries. The Netherlands and Ireland have a lot in common and share many common ideas and partnerships within the EU. In the economic field, Ireland has been one of the fastest growing economies in Europe for many years and the Netherlands acts as an important trade bridge from Ireland to continental Europe. At the same time, both the Netherlands and Ireland face important social challenges, hence the importance of this exchange of experience and sharing at the highest level.

De seguida o casal real cumpriu uma tradição que todos os chefes de estado de visita a Áras an Uachtaráin são convidados a fazer. O Rei e Rainha da Holanda plantaram uma árvore nos jardins da residência presidencial irlandesa. Esta tradição começou em 1853 quando a Rainha Victoria plantou a primeira de três árvores. Esta tradição continuou após a Independência da República da Irlanda do Reino Unido, e a primeira árvore plantada por um Presidente irlandês aconteceu em 1939 pelas mãos do Presidente Douglas Hyde. Desde ai todos os Presidentes plantam uma árvore e todos os Chefes de Estado em visita também são convidados a fazê-lo.

Para a primeira parte do primeiro dia de visita, Máxima deslumbrou num fantástico conjunto dourado com pormenores metálicos nas mangas e um chapéu pillbox. Um rasgo de luz num dia cinzento na Irlanda.
For the first part of the first day of visit, Máxima dazzled in a fantastic golden set with metallic details on the sleeves and a pillbox hat. A tear of light on a gray day in Ireland.

"A Alma dos Irlandeses, por outro lado, tem uma outra forma de expressão: a poesia.
Ao longo dos séculos, os triunfos e tragédias da Ilha Esmeralda tornaram-se sublimes através do poder da linguagem. 'As palavras empoderam, as palavras podem curar, as palavras podem unir', como o Presidente uma vez descreveu.
Um dos grandes poetas irlandesas, William Butler Yeats, compreendeu mais do que nenhum outro, o que torna este país tão especial:
' A vossa mãe Eire é sempre jovem', escreveu ele.
Nem mais!
Este países, apesar de todos os desafios e recuos, sempre conseguiu ser bem sucedido e reinventar-se. Ninguém consegue quebrar a força de espírito irlandesa. Temos orgulho da amizade que tem crescido entre os nossos dois povos. Uma amizade que está hoje mais forte que nunca."
"The soul of the Irish, on the other hand, has another form of expression: poetry. Throughout the centuries, the triumphs and tragedies of the Emerald Isle have been made sublime by the power of language. ‘Words that can empower, words that can heal, words that might unite’, as you once described it. One of Ireland’s greatest poets, William Butler Yeats, understood like no other what makes this country so special:
‘Your mother Eire is always young,’ he wrote.
Hear hear!
This country, despite challenges and setbacks, has always succeeded in reinventing itself. No one can break the Irish spirit. We are proud of the friendship that has grown between our peoples. A friendship that today is stronger than ever."

De visita à Ilha Esmeralda, Máxima trouxe consigo esmeraldas, claro. Esmeraldas e o seu vestido-floresta, como eu gosto de lhe chamar, usado pela primeira vez durante a Visita de Estado a Portugal.
Visiting the Emerald Isle, Maxima brought emeralds, of course. Emeralds and their forest dress, as I like to call it, used for the first time during the State Visit to Portugal.
