One of the organisers of Bill Clinton's visit to Kerry 25 years ago, says the Kingdom should be on President Biden's itinerary when he comes to Ireland next month.

Former Fine Gael activist, Frank Quilter  from Lixnaw, says it’d be fitting that Joe Biden would come to Kerry - a quarter-of-a-century after President Clinton's visit.

Mr Quilter said Lixnaw was the early home of Prime Minister William Petty Fitzmaurice who signed the Treaty of Parish in 1783, to end the American War of Independence, giving freedom to the 13 colonies, which became the first 17 states of the United States of America.

Mr Quilter says this is one of many links between Kerry and America which could tempt President Biden to the Kingdom.
