Former Ambassador to the US & @RockwoodConsult advisor @DanMulhall on @rte @morningireland today: @MichealMartinTD @fiannafailparty handled a tough meeting with President Trump well - “a level par round on a difficult course.”
As a former Ambassador to the USA & an advisor to Rockwood Public Affairs, I was happy to provide @morningireland with a commentary on yesterday’s meeting at the White House. Overall, I thought @MichealMartinTD acquitted himself well, pushing back astutely on a couple of occasions. That’s the most that can realistically be achieved in the Oval Office these days. The Taoiseach’s performance was akin to a level par round of golf on a difficult course with lots of hazards.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Dolores Keane. I knew her during my time as a Senator - sharp, warm and a brilliant performer. A legend of Irish music. I’ll always treasure singing Caledonia with her at my general election launch in 2016. RIP.
Delighted to have been appointed to the European Board of Directors of @Movember
Grateful to founder Travis Garone and the global board for their endorsement. Looking forward to strengthening impact across Europe.

Writing in yesterday’s @Independent_ie Rockwood Consultant Daniel Mulhall warns Ireland’s significant trade surplus with the US makes us particularly vulnerable to protectionist policies, and urges the diversification of trade ties.

A great discussion with @IrelandEmbGB Martin Fraser, @QUBelfast Prof. Katy Hayward @DairyIndustryIE Conor Mulvihill + @GregHands.
Thanks to @UKandEU for partnering with us!
Great to join David McCullagh on @rtenews this evening to discuss tariffs, the potential for a trade war, and the impact on businesses in Ireland.
Important to stay ahead of these challenges.
