Gerald Monahan, Èire's Foreign Minister would pick up the phone after having encrypted his side of the line.

"This is Gerald Monahan, Èire's Foreign Minister, how may I be of service to you Mr. O' Malley?"

"Yes, hello. Well, I assumed you'd be aware why I would be calling. I was wondering why your government has decided to close the US embassy in Ireland, and the Irish embassy in the US?"

@Dragon

 

[Dragon]

"So I see...my government has come rightfully or wrongfully come to the conclusion, that allowing the US to maintain a diplomatic presence in Èire would constitute a contradiction to the terms of our own neutrality and thus would be intolerable."

"You must see it from this way, however, by kicking out certain nations - that is what contradicts your neutral stance - because it could be seen as 'picking sides' for want of a better term"

 

[Dragon]

"We do not presume ourselves to be advocating a form of diplomatic favoritism with regards to your respective country, Mr. O'Malley...might I also add that we have no ill will towards the United States."
