The Washington Ireland Program will see 30 talented university students from Ireland and Northern Ireland travel to the US this summer for internship and leadership programs.
Leo Varadkar, the prime minister of Ireland, has expressed regret for making a reference to the sex scandal involving former president Bill Clinton in a speech in front of a fresh batch of Capitol Hill interns.
Varadkar was describing his time as a D.C. intern at the end of Clinton's second term, "when some parents would have had cause for concern about what would happen to interns in Washington," to his Washington Ireland Programme audience.
Varadkar is known for making off-script puns that occasionally blow up in his face, reported Politico.
