Paul McGuire (diplomat)

Dominic Mary (Paul) McGuire CBE (3 April 1903 – 15 June 1978) was an Australian writer, public servant and diplomat.[7] Between 1932 and 1936, McGuire published ten novels, a book of verse and an essay on the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins.[10] While in North America McGuire met personally then US President Harry S. Truman and Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King.[11] In 1949 McGuire's book There's Freedom for the Brave was published to favourable reviews, including in The New York Times and Life magazine.[12][13][14] In April 1953, Minister for External Affairs Richard Casey, Baron Casey announced McGuire's appointment as Australian Ambassador to Ireland, saying that the Department of External Affairs was "inadequate in sufficiently senior and experienced career personnel to fill all the Australian posts abroad," and that it was necessary to draw on experienced people from outside the department to fill some overseas posts.
