His position on the Border Regional Authority is a "sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office" (the Authority is one of the eight sub-national divisions of Ireland) satisfying  criterion #1. A https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Matt+Carthy%22&tbs=nws:1,ar:1&source=newspapers Google News archive search for his name turns up 50 results. Some of them are outlets outside the Republic of Ireland: http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/breakingnews/breakingnews_ukandireland/town-council-condemned-over-snub-28520817.html the Belfast Telegraph, http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/jpost/doc/319710800.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Feb%205,%202010&author=HERB%20KEINON&pub=Jerusalem%20Post&edition=&startpage=&desc=Israel%27s%20envoy%20to%20Ireland%20demands%20Sinn%20Fein%20condemn%20demo%20against%20him the Jerusalem Post (paywalled), http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8544493.stm the BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/northern_ireland/502290.stm twice, http://www.sanfranciscosentinel.com/?p=62519 Al Jazeera, http://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/nov/02/northernireland the Guardian, http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2010&dt=0303&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Luar_Negara&pg=lu_10.htm Utusan Online in Malaysia, http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=PI&s_site=philly&p_multi=PI&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EB32FDD53BB1877&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM the Philadelphia Inquirer (paywalled), http://world.people.com.cn/GB/11058208.html people.com.cn and http://www.tv2.no/nyheter/utenriks/rev-israelsk-ambassadoer-ut-av-gjesteboka-3149020.html TV 2 in Norway. The coverage may meet  criterion #2. The apparently self-promotional article has been rewritten by Nikkimaria. I didn't look at the Irish stories but some are entirely about Carthy, perhaps enough to meet . &mdash
