Taoiseach Micheál Martin may get the opportunity to visit the Oval Office later in the year after a positive Covid test forced him to cancel his St Patrick’s Day event.
Mr Martin was continuing some duties on Friday but had no official engagements planned as he was due to fly home from Washington to Dublin.
He had a 30 minute phone call with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau but was understood to have been taking it easy on Friday.
