I was delighted to able to chat to Irish Ambassador to Great Britain, Dan Mulhall, on this week’s show. He is now leaving his post in London to become Ireland’s Ambassador to the United States.Before that though, he sat down with me to chat about Irish Culture, Identity, and the dreaded B word.

You can follow, Ambassador Mulhall on Twitter, he’s great for starting each day off with some poetry.

Our chat was recorded on August 3 2017 in the Irish Embassy in London. Thanks to Brendan and Bernadette for their help in organising this.
