The Ambassador of Sweden to Ireland (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Republic of Ireland) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Ireland and government of Ireland.
In January 1946, it was decided that the consulship in Dublin would be changed to a position of legation counsellor, and the holder of the position was given the status of chargé d'affaires en pied. In May 1946, the head of the Press Department of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Director , was appointed as chargé d'affaires in Dublin, effective 1 July, with the title of minister plenipotentiary.
In May 1951, he was appointed as Sweden's first envoy there. On 7 June 1951, he presented his letter of credence to Prime Minister John A. Costello. During an earlier official visit, he had presented them to President Seán T. O'Kelly.
In October 1959, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Irish governments on the mutual elevation of the respective countries' legations to embassies. The diplomatic rank was thereafter changed to ambassador instead of envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary.
