US ambassador to Ireland Claire Cronin hosted the event on the lawn of the Deerfield Residence to mark the 248th anniversary of the independence of the US, with attendees including former taoiseach Bertie Ahern, current and former Government ministers, TDs and senators. “The United States stands with Ukraine as it defends its sovereignty and territory against Russia’s brutal aggression,” she said.
“The overall value of our trade and investment relations is $1 trillion – a very big number – and Ireland is the ninth largest foreign director in the US and with no signs of slowing down,” she said.
