The future of Ireland is bright and optimistic, according to the US Ambassador to Ireland.
Ambassador Kevin O'Malley was speaking at the Ireland United States Alumni Association conference in Dublin today, where several Irish recipients of US state department programmes were recognised for their contribution to Ireland US relations.
Among them was Magdalene Laundry human rights advocate, Maeve O'Rourke.
Ambassador O'Malley says there's great reason to be optimistic in Ireland today.
