Taoiseach Leo Varadkar will travel to Washington DC today to take part in three days of engagements that will culminate with a meeting with US President Joe Biden on St Patrick’s Day.
As previously reported by the Irish Mirror, it is now widely believed that Mr Biden will visit Ireland at the end of April to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement.
It is expected that Mr Biden could announce details of his trip when he meets the Taoiseach for the traditional exchange of a bowl of Shamrock in the White House on Friday.
