The Mick Clifford Podcast: Luck of the Irish Premier - Elaine Loughlin

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar is in the US this week where he will meet President Joe Biden

One of the perks of the job of being Taoiseach is apparently the invite to the White House for St Patrick’s Day, a privilege that is afforded few foreign leaders. 

Leo Varadkar is over this year but he has a lot on his mind. 

He has to step lightly around hosts whose stance on Israel and Gaza is at odds with that of most of the world, including Ireland. 

And he also is burdened with reflection on a disastrous referendum outcome for his government. 

Joining him in DC, among the travelling media, is Irish Examiner Political Editor Elaine Loughlin, this week’s guest on the podcast.
