Taoiseach: Donald Trump wants to visit Ireland during his presidency

The US president-elect Donald Trump has indicated a wish to visit Ireland.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny says the incoming American president expressed a wish to visit when speaking with him last week.

The president-elect had been due to visit his golf course in Doonbeg over the summer, but cancelled the event at short notice.

The Taoiseach says Mr Trump is keen to make it to Ireland at some point during his tenure.

Mr Kenny said: "He actually said himself that he hoped to visit Ireland some time, so let's see when the administration takes up office, what his schedule might be.

"I don't have any indication of his coming at an early date."
