THE US AMBASSADOR to Ireland will officially step down from his role next Tuesday.
Edward F Crawford said it has been “the honour of a lifetime to represent my country in the land from which my parents originated”.
His parents emigrated from Ireland to the US in the 1920s.
It is common that all politically appointed US Ambassadors step down from their positions before the beginning of a new administration.
