The fabled luck of the Irish was in short supply for Ireland’s Prime Minister Micheál Martin, who tested positive for COVID-19 during a visit to Washington, D.C.
What Happened: Martin learned of his positive test result during last night’s Ireland Funds Gala at the National Building Museum in Washington, where he briefly interacted with President Joe Biden. Both men were masked during their interaction, whereas Martin sat maskless next to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and singer/songwriter Carole King when Biden delivered his remarks during the gala.
