Press/Public Affairs Office

The Public Affairs Office of the United States Embassy in Ireland seeks to explain and advocate American foreign and domestic policies to Irish audiences. It serves as a focal point for media, cultural and educational relations between Ireland and the United States. It advises the U.S. Mission to Ireland on the issues of public diplomacy.

Often referred to as the Press and Cultural Office, the Public Affairs Office supports American foreign policy objectives, and promotes national interests through a wide range of overseas programs, including the Fulbright Program and an electronic information outreach program.

With its counterparts in 200 posts in some 140 countries worldwide, the US Embassy Public Affairs Office mandate is to promote mutual understanding and international cooperation between the people of the United States and its host country.
