President John F Kennedy visited Ireland in June 1963, including a trip to his family's ancestral home in County Wexford. 'So it's fitting that President Biden will be here to mark this significant milestone with us.' Timeline of previous presidential visits 'From its earliest uncertain beginnings to the making of the Good Friday Agreement, in good days and bad, the US has always been at our side,' said Mr Varadkar. He said the involvement of the United States and of President Biden personally had been 'essential to the peace process in Ireland'. 'When we spoke recently in the White House, President Biden was clear that in celebrating the Good Friday Agreement, we should be looking ahead, not backwards,' he said. Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Leo Varadkar said he was 'delighted' that President Biden would be visiting Ireland. It has also been confirmed that President Biden will be in County Mayo on Friday, where he will speak at an event outside St Muredach's Cathedral, Ballina. He will become the fourth US president to do so, following President John F Kennedy on 28 June 1963, President Ronald Reagan on 4 June 1984 and President Bill Clinton on 1 December 1995. White House spokesperson John Kirby said it was expected that President Biden would address the Oireachtas (Irish parliament) on Thursday. It is also believed the US president will attend the Irish presidential residence, Áras an Uachtaráin, to meet Michael D Higgins. Irish broadcaster RTÉ has reported the official visit may include government receptions for President Biden at Farmleigh House and Dublin Castle.
