Description
The American flag bunting-bedecked County Mayo town of Ballina is abuzz just hours ahead of US president Joe Bidens's visit to his ancestral town, where he is due to address thousands as part of his official visit to the Republic of Ireland. One businessman has even changed the name of his coffee shop in the president's honour. "Yes, originally we were called 'Mocha Beans' but we dropped the beans for Biden to welcome Joe back home to Ballina," Mocha Biden owner Trevor Mangan says. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
