US ambassador to Ireland pays visit to Cooley Peninsula

The current US Ambassador to Ireland, Claire Cronin, visited the Cooley Peninsula this week, where she visited Lily Finnegan's pub - once owned by President Joe Biden's ancestors. 

As well as visiting Lily Finnegan's, Ambassador Cronin had dinner in Fitzpatricks Bar & Restaurant and paid a visit to Kilwirra where some of Joe Biden's relations are buried. Reports say that "Ambassador Cronin received a great Irish welcome and was presented with a bottle of Teelings whiskey, cake and other presents."
