Career


Mulhall joined Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs in 1978 as Third Secretary in the Economics Division. He then moved to the department's Development Cooperation Division, and was later posted in 1980 to the embassy in New Delhi. In 1983, Mulhall moved back to Dublin to work in the Political Division.
Mulhall then became First Secretary at the Embassy of Ireland in Vienna, followed by a posting to the Permanent Representation to the European Union in Brussels in 1990. In 1995, he became Counsellor of the Press Division of the Department of Foreign Affairs. In 1998, he was installed as the first Consul General of Ireland in Edinburgh.
In October 2001, Mulhall was appointed to the post of Ambassador to Malaysia and was also accredited to Laos, Thailand and Vietnam. He was the Irish government's representative during the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami and helped "get survivors home as part of the Irish emergency response efforts". Mulhall returned to Dublin in 2005 as the Assistant Secretary of the European Union Division of the department.
In November 2009, he became Ireland's Ambassador to Germany. His posting to Berlin coincided with the Irish financial crisis.
In 2013, he was posted to the Irish Embassy in London as the Ambassador to the United Kingdom. Mulhall was the Irish Ambassador when the UK voted to leave the European Union in 2016. He campaigned against Brexit, as was Irish government policy, and later spoke of his "personal sadness" that Brexit is "threatening to reverse decades of improving relations since peace was established". He said that Irish-British relations "had been neglected" in the referendum. He called on the British government to remain in the Customs Union "to minimise the impact of Brexit on the Good Friday Agreement".
In March 2017, it was announced that Mulhall would become the 18th Ambassador of Ireland to the United States later that year.
In August 2017, he arrived in Washington DC and presented his credentials to US President Donald Trump when he was officially installed as Ambassador to the US.
In March 2022 New York University announced that after his retirement from the Department of Foreign Affairs in August 2022 Mulhall would become global distinguished professor in Irish studies, teaching an undergraduate seminar, "Literature as History: Ireland 1880-1940".
Mulhall is Parnell Fellow at Magdalene College, Cambridge for 2022–23.
