Irish ambassador to Brazil on shared values and multilateralism

Welcome back to Diplomatic Brief, a series featuring conversations with foreign diplomats about the forces that bind — and at times divide — their countries and Brazil.

Our guest today is Martin Gallagher, Ireland's Ambassador to Brazil, Guyana and Suriname and the Caricom since September 2025. Before his current posting, he worked as consular director at Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and held various positions in Ireland's Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York.
