Tilley Lamp One of the most famous lights in Ireland is the light that shines from an upstairs window at Áras an Uachtaráin. Visible from the main road through the Phoenix Park, the light is a symbolic beacon, lighting the way for Irish emigrants and their descendants, welcoming them to their homeland. First placed there by President Mary Robinson, the light builds on an old Irish tradition of placing a light in the window to guide the way of strangers in the night. The original light now shines in the library in Ballina, Mrs. Robinson's home town, and was replaced by a Tilley lamp donated to President McAleese on the day of her inauguration. President Michael D. Higgins decided to continue the tradition, and the light still shines. President Higgins has put the theme of Migration at the heart of his work and many of his speeches, and the events he has hosted or attended focus on issues related to the topics of the Diaspora, Homelessness, Refugees and Solidarity.

Lampa Tilley Tá an solas a lonraíonn ó fhuinneog thuas staighre in Áras an Uachtaráin ar cheann de na soilse is cáiliúla in Éirinn. Bíonn sé le feiceáil ón bpríomhbhóthar i bPáirc an Fhionnuisce, agus is lóchrann siombalach atá ann, a lasann an bealach d’eisimircigh na hÉireann agus a sliocht, á bhfáiltiú abhaile go dtí a dtír dhúchais. Ba í an tUachtarán Máire Mhic Róibín a shocraigh ansin ar dtús é, agus tá sé bunaithe ar sheantraidisiún Gaelach solas a shocrú i bhfuinneog chun a mbealach a thaispeáint do strainséirí san oíche. Tá an solas bunaidh ag lonrú anois i leabharlann Bhéal an Átha, baile dúchais Bhean Mhic Róibín, agus cuireadh lampa Tilley, a bronnadh ar an Uachtarán Mhic Ghiolla Íosa ar lá a hinsealbhaithe, ina áit. Chinn an tUachtarán Ó hUigínn leanúint leis an traidisiún agus tá an solas fós ag lonrú. Tá téama na himirce curtha i gcroílár a chuid oibre ag an Uachtarán Ó hUigínn agus díríonn cuid mhaith dá chuid aitheasc, agus na himeachtaí a reáchtáil sé nó a raibh sé ag freastal orthu, ar cheisteanna atá bainteach leis an diaspóra, leis an easpa dídine, le dídeanaithe agus leis an dlúthpháirtíocht.
