Telegram from Jack Conway to Seán Murphy (Dublin)
(No. 98)

New York, 15 December 1955

Consulted Ambassador last night knowing he too was listening broadcast of General Assembly meeting at which Ireland elected 63rd member of UN. As result new members were requested provide representation this morning. Consequently I attended regular meeting. Took no part in discussions or voting. Pending instructions propose occupy delegation seat as courtesy to General Assembly without taking active part. In my absence Keating1 and Gallagher2 will deputise there for me.

1 Paul Keating (1924-80), Vice-Consul, Irish Consulate, New York (1951-6), later Secretary, Department of Foreign Affairs (1974-7) and Ambassador to the United Nations (1978-80).

2 Eamon Gallagher (1926-2009), Vice-Consul, Irish Consulate, New York (1952-9).
