I spoke with President-elect Biden by telephone in the afternoon of 10 November to offer my congratulations on his and Vice President-elect Harris’s recent success in the US election. I also took the opportunity to invite the President-elect to visit Ireland after he takes office, and as soon as circumstances allow. I have sent letters of congratulations reiterating this message.

Any programme for a visit will only be developed once planning for such a visit is underway and will be for agreement between the two sides. However, consideration will certainly be given to an invitation to President-elect Biden to speak to a joint sitting of the Houses of the Oireachtas.
