Obama to host Irish PM for St. Patrick’s Day
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama plans to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with the prime minister of Ireland.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Friday that Brian Cowen will be at the White House to celebrate the holiday. Gibbs says Obama appreciates Cowen’s work with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Gibbs says the celebration on March 17 is a reminder of the relationship between the United States and Ireland.
Obama hosted Cowen at last year’s St. Patrick’s Day fete.
