This volume deals with the establishment, evolution and current state of diplomatic relations between Ireland and Germany, the hurdles that have had to be overcome, the importance of individuals, and circumstances which at times went beyond the sphere of influence for either country. Contributions are included from politicians and academics as well as practitioners such as former and present ambassadors. All reflect on the multifaceted nature of Irish-German relations and often bring personal experiences into the fore, bringing together a fascinating and insightful collection.
