Has Biden found the right balance on his Ireland visit?
Description
Irish Times Washington Correspondents past and present, Simon Carswell and Martin Wall, have both been covering US president Joe Biden's visit to Ireland this week.
They join Pat Leahy to talk about what the visit has been like and how it has gone down at home in the US, here in Ireland and elsewhere.
They look at Mr Biden's comments here and ask how well he's balanced the various diplomatic, political and emotional aspects of his presence.
And they discuss some surprising comments Mr Biden made in Dáil Éireann that may give ammunition to those arguing the 81 year old is too old to run again in 2024.
