Message from Ambassador Dan Rooney

U.S. Ambassador Daniel M. Rooney

"The U.S. Embassy in Dublin supports strong bilateral relationships in business.  We work closely with the leading American businesses seeking to enter the Irish and European markets.  Trade promotion is vital, and overall investment in Ireland, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce, is approaching $200 billion, which is more than the leading BRIC countries combined.   We also actively support investment outward, particularly as Irish business looks overseas where we want our ties to encourage business to “SelectUSA” and invest in America.   Investment, trade and jobs are vital in both countries to restore economic growth and to speed the on-going global recovery. I hope that these web pages and links will assist your business efforts. We are here to help you." - Dan Rooney, U.S. Ambassador to Ireland.
