President Biden's last day in Ireland
He found it in pubs but also in Parliament, which he said felt like home: “Tá mé sa bhaile.” The reception was more rapturous than anything he could hope for from Congress. Offering a vibe break from divided and bitter Washington – if not necessarily all of its difficulties, like a massive leak of classified information that preoccupied White House aides but which he sought to downplay – Biden’s four-day trip left such an impression he said repeatedly he did not want to leave.
He made a direct call for the political parties in Northern Ireland to return to a power-sharing government – between those who want to remain part of the United Kingdom and those who favor a united Ireland – that was a central pillar of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. He tried to avoid being drawn directly into the feud over Brexit trade rules, recognizing the perception he is less-than-evenhanded when it comes to the Irish-British divide.
