Diplomat was established in 2010 and is owned by John X Miller, Honorary Consul of Hungary and Michael Mulcahy, Honorary Consul of Poland (Emeritus). Both Honorary Consuls saw through their respective diplomatic and consular work with their countries and their engagement with all other countries that had a diplomatic presence in Ireland, that the need for a diplomatic voice in media was important and necessary. As a result Diplomat magazine and diplomat.ie as its website was created.
