She subsequently graduated from King’s Inns.

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2014 Remarks at a St. Patrick's Day Reception March 14, 2014
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2014 Remarks at a St. Patrick's Day Reception March 14, 2014 Vice President Joe Biden. Hey, everyone, how are you? Welcome to the White House. And happy St. Patrick's Day week. In 1963, President Kennedy addressed the Irish Parliament, and he said, and I quote, "Our two nations, divided by distance, have been united by history." And that is obvious to every one of you in this room today. And nothing exemplifies that bond more than this building. It was designed by an Irishman named James Hoban—Hoban. Any Hobans in the room? [Laughter] I lived across the street with a guy named Johnny Hoban—anyway, it's a long story. [Laughter] And it's been occupied by 19 Presidents of Irish descent, and the remaining were despondent they could not make that claim. So it's wonderful to be here today in the White House with all of you. And I'm reminded of a New Yorker article that Pat Moynihan, God bless him, put on my desk on a St. Patrick's Day back in the early nineties. There was a New Yorker article that had Pat and Mike sitting in a pub in New York, and Pat looks at Mike and says, "Mike, don't you wish you were in Dublin in a pub wishing you were in New York?" [Laughter] At least the Irish Catholic family I came from, that's kind of it. As I said today, we Irish are the only people I know who are nostalgic about the future.
