Irish Examiner view: Pressing need for Joe Biden to visit Ireland

Despite the US president's many associations with this country there are no plans for him come here when he visits the UK next month

The US president’s personal connection to this country has found another expression, with Joe Biden’s letter to the Roscommon Mayo Hospital thanking them for their support for his presidency. 

His association with the hospice goes back to the day he turned the sod for its construction during a private visit to this country in 2017.
