“I was so very sorry to learn of this news breaking while the Taoiseach (Prime Minister in Irish) was busy representing Ireland in the US leading up to our National Day. I wish the Taoiseach a speedy recovery and also wish him further success with the continuation of his program in Washington,” he said.
