Irish Prime Minister hosted by President Obama and Joe Biden at the White House

Official celebration of St. Patrick’s Day in Washington for Irish leader and guests

 The party then continued on to a lunch held in the Rayburn Room, in the Capitol, where they were greeted by David O’Leary singing “Oh Danny Boy”.

During the meal, the President sat next to House Speaker John Boehner, while House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was seated at another table.

As the party emerged from lunch to return to the White House, bagpipes and drums lined the steps.

The day’s festivities will continue into the evening and Washington celebrates what Kenny has dubbed “St. Patrick’s Week”.
