She then moved to Brussels
to serve as the Permanent Representative of Ireland to the European
Union in 2001. After some time as Ambassador to France, she returned to the United
States once more to become the Permanent Representative of Ireland to
the United Nations in New York until 2013, when she was named the
Ambassador of Ireland to the United States. Her focus in her time as
ambassador has been in advocating on behalf of immigration issues and
undocumented Irish immigrants in the United States, pursuing her
passion for inclusivity and equality in human rights and women's
rights, and fostering the cultural art connections between the two
nations. The foundations of our relationship with Ireland are built upon and
solidified by the great work of diplomats and public servants such as
Ambassador Anderson, who seek to facilitate international relationships
that rise above any national differences. While she may be retiring
from her diplomatic roles, my friend Anne will forever be a diplomat in
the truest sense of the word.
