Listen in to a wide-ranging, open and honest fireside chat between ICBA Chair Dr. Deirdre Giblin and Canadian Ambassador to Ireland, Dennis King. It was recorded at a live audience event hosted by FFH Management Services in Dublin, which is part of the Fairfax group. 

The conversation spans many topics including Ambassador King’s journey from provincial politics to diplomacy,  his first year in Ireland and how he has settled in to life in a new country, the impact of Prime minister Mark Carney’s speech in Davos, Canada’s evolving global role and why the Ireland Canada relationship matters more now, than ever.
