with Stephen Jardine

PHONE-IN
US President Joe Biden has paid homage to his Irish heritage as thousands of people gathered to greet him on a tour of the home country of his ancestors.
In a speech in a pub in County Louth he said visiting the area his great-great-grandfather had left for America “feels like coming home”.
He’s on a three-day visit to the Republic of Ireland, having spent a short time in Northern Ireland to mark 25 years since the Good Friday peace agreement.

Much of President Biden’s time in Ireland will be in search of his ancestral roots. Stephen’s asking - have you traced yours?
