Ambassador Claire Cronin spoke about the significance of the weekend as she accompanied two US Congressional delegations to a meeting with Ireland’s deputy premier Micheal Martin on Friday. “So we have a bipartisan delegation here, bicameral as well, both members of the Senate and the House. The two Congressional delegations were led by Democratic Senator Christopher Murphy from Connecticut and Republican Congressman Pat Fallon from Texas.
