Louth Senator says she would be proud to welcome US President to his ancestorial home 

Fianna Fáil Senator in Louth, Erin McGreehan, has said the people of Louth would warmly welcome Joe Biden back to his ancestorial home next month.

It comes as the US President confirmed that he intends to visit the island of Ireland to mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement.

Senator McGreehan said: "It is very welcome news that US President Joe Biden plans to visit Ireland next month as we approach the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement.

"It is important to acknowledge and reflect on Mr Biden's commitment to the Good Friday Agreement and the leading role the United States played in helping to enable that agreement in the first place. 

"Many people will remember Mr Biden's previous two visits to the county, once during his visit as US Vice President in 2016, and again in 2017. 

"People in Louth are keen to welcome the now US President back and I very much hope that the Cooley Peninsula will be a stop on his itinerary on this occasion too."
