In it, President Biden thanked him for the warm welcome shown to him and his team in Ballina.

He said: “From giving remarks before my speech at St. Muredach's Cathedral to inviting members of my staff to Easter Mass, I deeply appreciate your kindness and hospitality. And thank you for all that you have done as Mayor to help deepen the partnership and strengthen the friendship between the Irish and American people.”

President Biden continued: “As I said during my speech, coming to Ireland felt like coming home - and that's thanks in large part to leader like you. Please give my best to Sarah. And as always, Mayo for Sam!'
