US ambassador presents credentials

Kevin F O’Malley, a Missouri lawyer who practiced for more than 35 years, has taken up the post after it lay empty following the departure of Dan Rooney in December 2012. He was joined at yesterday’s ceremony by his wife Dena with whom he has two sons, Brendan and Ryan.

Mr O’Malley served as an assistant US attorney in St Louis, Missouri, from 1979 to 1983 and was a special attorney in the Organised Crime and Racketeering Section of the US Department of Justice from 1974 to 1979.
