The U.S. Senate on Saturday, Dec 18  confirmed Rep. Claire Cronin of Easton as U.S. ambassador to Ireland. 

The voice vote approval clears the way for Cronin to leave the House, where she serves as majority leader in Speaker Ron Mariano's leadership team, and for Mariano to eventually fill a major slot in the House hierarchy.

 President Joe Biden, who Cronin supported in last year's presidential election, nominated Cronin over the summer. The Senate approved Cronin's nomination on a voice vote.
