Some American may not know that the United States has been without an ambassador to Ireland for over 16 months, the longest period the country has gone without one since 1927. Brian O'Dwyer, a Democratic Party stalwart and chairman of the Emerald Isle Immigration Center, speaking with RTE's 'Today with Sean O'Rourke', said, "There's a tremendous sense of disappointment and anger in the Irish American community...There are 44 million Irish Americans in the United States; I suspect at least one would be more than qualified."
Jill Simms McLaughlin says she is "outraged that there has been none for 15 months!! The Irish deserve someone who loves the people, the scenery, the cows, sheep, and horses, as well as the CRAIC!!" A trip to her Facebook page will convey her love for the Irish. SLAINTE
