RTE.ie Entertainment - An Accidental Diplomat by Eamon Delaney (598 words)
This strain between the limitations of diplomatic language and the natural impulses of the writer is palpable in Eamon Delaney's candid and garrulous account of eight years spent as a Third Secretary in Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs.
Delaney has produced a memoir crammed with fascinating detail and memorable characters, while painting a picture of himself as a somewhat reluctant and incredulous bit-player on the broad stage of world affairs.
Delaney may make a few stinging comments about the culture of the UN (the smaller the country, the bigger the limo apparently), but generally he is a passionate supporter of the institution, bemoaning the ill-treatment it has received at the hands of the major powers.
