Ambassador Daniel M. Rooney completed his Mission as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to Ireland on 14 December 2012. Pending the nomination of his successor, the Deputy Head of Mission at the Embassy of the United States of America is acting in the capacity of Chargé d'Affaires, ad interim. The appointment of a new Ambassador is a matter for the sending state to initiate. We have not received any proposal in this regard from the United States of America.
