US president Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have both expressed “strong support” for the Good Friday Agreement during St Patrick’s Day meetings with Taoiseach Micheál Martin.

The meeting of the two leaders, held virtually because of Covid-19, was the first formal bilateral between Mr Biden who took office in January and Mr Martin who has been Taoiseach since last June.
