Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi hosted President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. and Taoiseach Micheál Martin of Ireland, for the virtual Annual Friends of Ireland Celebration. Below are the Speaker’s remarks:
Speaker Pelosi. Hello. As Speaker of the House, it is my honor to welcome so many friends, colleagues and leaders from Ireland and Northern Ireland to this virtual Friends of Ireland celebration!
A generation ago, two Irish Americans – President Ronald Reagan and Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill – began the special, bipartisan Friends of Ireland luncheon. The next year, they were joined by Taoiseach Garret FitzGerald – hence a tradition was born.
