The excitement about Joe Biden’s three-day visit to the Republic of Ireland is reflected in all the national papers today.
The Irish Times leads with a quote from Biden after his arrival yesterday. “Coming here feels like coming home,” it says, along with a picture of him speaking outside a bar in County Louth.
The paper summarises the first day of the US President’s visit to the island and emphasises his comments on the Good Friday Agreement: Biden highlighted the “incredible economic opportunity” created through “sustained peace”, it says.
“Beaming Biden savours return ‘home”, headlines The Irish Examiner, accompanied with a picture of Biden taking a selfie with the crowd gathered around him.
The paper says lots of roads will be closed today in Dublin and bins will be sealed as Biden meets President Higgins. It calls Biden’s planned address to both Houses of the Oireachtas “historic”.
The front page of Irish Independent just says “President Biden in Ireland” and adds, “pastries, pleasantries and a ‘Black and Tans’ faux pas are highlights of his visit to ancestral home county”.
The Irish Daily Mirror‘s headline says “Biden Joy”, while The Irish Sun prioritises Biden’s “rugby gaffe” on its front page and says “Yes we tans”.
