US president Joe Biden has officially confirmed his visit to Ireland and Northern Ireland next week.
President Biden will visit Dublin, Louth and Mayo during the course of his trip.
US President Joe Biden will arrive in Northern Ireland next Tuesday, the 11th of April with his press secretary saying he intends to mark the tremendous progress made since the signing of the Good Friday Agreement 25 years ago.
The following day he'll travel to the Republic where he'll continue a programme of events between the 12th and 14th.
Those events will include meetings with President Michael D Higgins and the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, as well as a possible address to the Oireachtas.
The President will visit both Louth and Mayo, where he has ancestral ties.
It's expected the big address Biden will give, comparable to Obama at College Green, will be made in Ballina on the Friday evening before he boards Air Force One to return to the States.
