During his two-day visit, the ambassador met President Douglas Hyde, Taoiseach and Minister for External Affairs Éamon de Valera, Lord Mayor of Dublin Alfie Byrne, and the Papal Nuncio Paschal Robinson.

      13 November – President Douglas Hyde attended an Ireland versus Poland friendly football match at Dalymount Park in Dublin, accompanied by Taoiseach Éamon de Valera, the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs, Oscar Traynor, and Attorney General Paddy Lynch. Association football being an English game, this provoked a public outcry from nationalist sporting quarters which resulted in Hyde being removed as patron of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), and shunned. He was not reinstated by the GAA before his death, in July 1949. The Taoiseach and Minister who attended this Irish 3–2 victory were not patrons of the GAA and thus were not sanctioned by that organisation.
