Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The phone call is at Mr. Trump's request to congratulate me on my election as Taoiseach. I am going to receive the phone call. Relations between Ireland and America are very important. They are going to go on long after Presidents, taoisigh and Governments change in both countries. They are relations that go back centuries. There are very important economic, cultural and family ties that exist between Ireland and America, and the relationship that we have with the United States is one that is going to have to withstand any particular Taoiseach or President.
