Cicero Group has appointed Robert O’Reilly, a former special adviser to the last two British ambassadors to Ireland, as a director to lead its new Dublin office.

O’Reilly will provide public affairs and corporate communications support to Cicero’s domestic and international clients. He brings a wealth of business, legal and regulatory experience to Cicero’s diverse client base.

“Robert’s addition to the team will further enhance the depth of our delivery,” said Helena Walsh, executive director at Cicero Group. “Our integrated teams across London, Brussels and Dublin mean Cicero is in an unparalleled position to provide our clients with in-depth political and policy insight.”
