An additional 19 Ministers of State will travel, as well as the Ceann Comhairle Seán Ó Fearghaíl, the Cathaoirleach of the Seanad Jerry Buttimer, and the Attorney General Ross Fanning.
There has been pressure on the Government to boycott this year’s visit to the White House because of the US government’s support for Israel during the Gaza conflict.
However, on his way into this week’s cabinet meeting, the Taoiseach said he would not pass up the opportunity to share the views of the Irish people on the war in Gaza with the US president.

The Department of Foreign Affairs said representatives will emphasize Ireland’s commitment to peace and security.
In a statement, it said other key messages will be the strength of the Irish economy, the country’s active membership of the EU, the priority attached to climate action, and commitment to protecting the Good Friday Agreement.
The central theme of the program will be Ireland’s Future in the World – with a focus on the contribution of young Irish people across the globe in the areas of business, innovation, creativity, community development, and academia.
