On the 16th floor of a skyscraper building, slap-bang in the middle of New York city, Tánaiste Micheál Martin looked at ease while meeting an old friend, Hillary Clinton.

Despite the mispronunciation of the Tanáiste's name as ‘Me-Hell’, the former US secretary of state made it clear in her remarks that her connection to Ireland, north and south, and to the Good Friday Agreement, remains strong and personal.
