When Mr. Biden travelled to Ireland for the first time in April of last year as president, he was greeted with great warmth.

In keeping with the custom of the Taoiseach’s yearly visit to the US immediately before St. Patrick’s Day, Mr. Varadkar is in the country this week.

In response to a question from reporters about his plans to return to Ireland, Mr. Biden stated, “I always want to come back to Ireland.”
Addressing the Taoiseach, Mr Biden said: “I want to thank you again for the reception I had when I was last in Ireland. As a matter of fact, my family weren’t sure we wanted to come home, it was so nice,” reports Breaking News.
