“Oh the green and red of Mayo,” US President Joe Biden declared as he addressed almost 30,000 people in Ballina last night, before adding: “Mayo for Sam”.
President Biden remarked that his great, great, great grandfather sold 27,000 bricks to build St Muredach’s Cathedral in 1827, where he gave his address last night.
He said: “I doubt he ever imagined his great great great grandson would return 200 years later as President of the United States of America.”
