Career

When Seán McBride became head of the Department of External Affairs in 1948, he expanded the department and McDonagh entered as Third Secretary.^[2]

An Anglo-Irish Division of the Department of Foreign Affairs was set up for the first time in early 1972 and McDonagh became its head. As such, he was involved closely in talks that eventually led to the Sunningdale Agreement of 1973.^[3]

He became Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany in 1973.

In 1977 he became Secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs but it was not a role that suited him. The following year he was replaced as Secretary and was appointed Ambassador to Italy.^[2]

In 1983 he was appointed as Ireland's Permanent representative to the United Nations in New York and served in that post until his retirement in 1989.

McDonagh amassed a library of over 1,000 diplomatic biographies in several languages which his family donated to the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade after his death.^[1]
