Mark Tuohey is new front-runner for US Ambassador to Ireland

This would be brilliant. Great Genes from Tip and Galway, well connected in Washington, which means can cause action if needed, good legal knowledge, is Catholic so well tuned cultural values. Which is good. But I would still prefer Major General John Scully now retired as President of the Chicago Defense Association. Ireland has plenty of Lawyers allready, to many infact it would seem then again with the kind of cops they have down there with bigger wrap ups than the nypd per capita that might not be relevent. All I am saying is you need someone with some balls.

The person who would be the perfect choice for the United States Ambassador would be the gentleman who loves both nations, Niall O'Dowd.
