Taoiseach in New York

Taoiseach Enda Kenny today commences his St Patrick’s Day visit to the US where tomorrow he will meet President Barack Obama at the Oval Office. In accordance with a six decades old tradition Taoiseach Kenny will present President Obama with a bowl of shamrock.

He arrived in the country yesterday and is due to stay for six days during which he will meet political and business leaders. While there he will 'promote investment and jobs, and make the case for immigration reform in the US.'
