What if there were a way that allowed everyone to connect on the internet with Irish culture? To learn some songs, the steps of a few dances, or even a few tunes from wherever they were in the world?

The U.S. Senate on Saturday, Dec 18 confirmed Rep. Claire Cronin of Easton as U.S. ambassador to Ireland.
The voice vote approval clears the way for Cronin to leave the House, where she serves as majority leader in Speaker Ron Mariano's leadership team, and for Mariano to eventually fill a major slot in the House hierarchy.
President Joe Biden, who Cronin supported in last year's presidential election, nominated Cronin over the summer. The Senate approved Cronin's nomination on a voice vote.
