Ireland and America: Challenges and Opportunities in a New Context
|
|
|
The Embassy of Ireland in Washington D.C., has recently published a Strategic Review
of Relations between Ireland and the United States (Ireland and America: Challenges
and Opportunities in a New Context). Our Council made a considered submission
on the matter as part of the review process that was conducted by Ireland's Ambassador
to the U.S., Michael Collins and Ambassador/Consul General in New York, Niall Burgess.
The document makes for interesting reading and contains important recommendations
which, if implemented, will enhance the relationships between America and Ireland.

President's Message
It was back in 1962 that, in preparation for the visit of President John F. Kennedy
to Ireland the following year, two organizations were created as a measure to build
institutional form around a structure to improve the relations between America and
Ireland.
One was dedicated to cultural relations - the American Irish Foundation, which has
since merged into the American Ireland Fund. Your Council was the other and was
aimed at building business bonds between America and Ireland.

We cherish the shared commitments that connect us to our Council mission. During
the past year, the Council has enjoyed outstanding support from members and from
many benefactors, patrons and sponsors. On behalf of the Council's Board and the
entire membership of the organization throughout the United States and in all parts
of Ireland, we offer thanks for the support we continue to receive.
