Should we be visiting the Whitehouse this Patrick’s Day? | Newstalk
The Government is planning a diplomatic blitz of the United States for St Patrick’s Day. But is this the right thing to do in the current political climate? Richard Boyd Barett (PBP) and Colm Burke (FG) debate the topic on The Pat Kenny Show. Tánaiste Simon Harris will bring a memo to Cabinet this morning outlining plans to send Ministers to 40 locations across the world in March. The Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Tánaiste Simon Harris and no less than eight other Ministers will all travel to the United States next month for St Patrick’s Day. The diplomatic offensive has been set up in response to a turbulent first few weeks of Donald Trump’s second Presidency. Much of the plan will focus on meetings with political leaders at federal and state level to build partnerships to protect Ireland’s interests. #ireland #trump #news Credit to : Newstalk
