TAOISEACH LEO VARADKAR touches down in the United States today, as part of a week-long visit taking in St Patrick’s Day across the Atlantic.
Four cities are on his itinerary, taking in the deep south, the mid-west and the east coast of the US.
The purpose of his trip is “to advance Ireland’s economic and political interests in the US, and to celebrate new and old cultural and community ties,” according to a government statement.
Varadkar will also use his meeting with President Donald Trump to “emphasise the strength of Irish-US relations and to highlight the case of the undocumented Irish”.
Here’s what he’ll be taking in for the week ahead:

Walking around Fota recently, nearly all the animals are on the endangered species list. Our ancestors and us have really left a mark on the place. Soon enough a zoo will be filled with different types of dogs and house cats.
A zoo with just a dog. Yhat wpuldbe a sh-1-t-zoo
Wonder what it tasted like.
It’d probably be really nice barbequed.
The Guru,
I am very happy you will never get the chance to find out.
“The decline of the population is probably due to climate change and human habitation nearby” = “we haven’t a bull’s notion why the population is in decline”
This a baby ewok?
Yes
Hope the Chinese leave them alone in peace.
Two guys who are experts at this kind of thing spend thirty seven days looking to take a photo of one without success and then this other guy who discovered them happens to chance on one posing on a rock.
Come on folks.
Just how gullible are we?
My home is inundated with these creatures. Please help!
“Then, last summer, the man who originally discovered the species in ’83, Weidong Li, had a chance encounter with the elusive creature. He and a group of researchers were out in the Tianshan Mountains for, what else, pika spotting, when around noon they saw one and snapped the iconic picture above.”
It was hardly a chance encounter if that was the purpose of their visit, is it?
Still not convinced that one is for real. Check google images to see what you think.
It looks to me like several stuffed toys stitched together.
Wasn’t he in caddy shack
No wonder it stays low in China.
Pika-chu
have your say
