Clinton ‘would love’ to join president on trip

SECRETARY of State Hillary Clinton, who has travelled to Ireland a number of times, including when she was First Lady, said she would love to take part in Mr Obama’s trip in May.

“I would love to be in Ireland under any circumstances,” she said adding that she does not yet know if she will take part because “I never know where I am going to be”.

After a meeting with the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Eamon Gilmore, she said it was “very good news” that Mr Obama would be coming to Ireland and she was “excited” about the visit.
