With only one day to go until US President Joe Biden arrives for a four-day whistlestop trip around Ireland, here’s a day-by-day look at what his plans are for the week
US PRESIDENT JOE Biden will soon be landing in Ireland for a four-day whistlestop trip starting tomorrow.
In an official statement, the White House said that “President Biden will first travel to Belfast, Northern Ireland from April 11-12 to mark the tremendous progress since the signing of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement 25 years ago and to underscore the readiness of the United States to support Northern Ireland’s vast economic potential to the benefit of all communities”.
Phoenix Park is set to close at 5pm on Wednesday until 5pm on Thursday to accommodate the visit. All gates, including pedestrian gates, will be shut. Access to the building will be heavily restricted during the speech with additional security in place. Media covering his speech from the Dáil gallery will be required to take a supervised antigen test and register in advance for access.
He is expected to travel to Knock, with some speculation that he may visit the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation. Government sources have said such a visit is “in the mix” as Biden turned the first sod on the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation project in 2017.
