Watch again as Joe Biden attends banquet dinner at Dublin Castle after addressing Irish parliament

Watch again as Joe Biden attended a banquet dinner at Dublin Castle after a historic address to a packed Irish Parliament.

The event, hosted by Irish prime minister Leo Varadkar, involved a reception in the Portrait Gallery followed by a dinner in St Patrick’s Hall. This was Mr Biden’s final engagement of the day.

The US president was welcomed with sustained, rapturous applause as he entered the chamber in Dublin’s Leinster House to deliver a speech on Thursday.

Asking to be forgiven for his attempt at speaking the Irish language, he said “Ta me sa bhaile” (I am home).

In his address, Mr Biden praised the “enduring” strength of the Irish-US relationship as he promised “a future poised for unlimited shared possibilities”.

Joe Biden is the fourth US president to address the Irish Parliament after John F Kennedy in 1963, Ronald Reagan in 1984 and Bill Clinton in 1995.
