The Cooley Peninsula is eagerly  awaiting the arrival of Joe Biden during an upcoming visit to Ireland, as the US president returns to his ancestral homeland.

Mr Biden retraced his roots to Mayo and Louth during a previous visit in 2016 and the White House has confirmed he will be holding engagements in the counties on his next visit to the island between April 11 and 14.
