Bush to visit Ireland for EU summit next year
Mr Bush’s recent visit to England prompted an unprecedented security operation involving 14,000 police at a cost of almost 8 million as tens of thousands of anti-war and environmental protestors took to the streets.
As well as a celebration of EU enlargement to be attended by the member leaders, European Minister Dick Roche said there will be an EU/US Summit in Ireland as part of the EU presidency and that the Government was awaiting a date from Washington.
