The president highlighted his Irish heritage during his speech in Ballina, which drew a crowd twice the size of the town's population, on Friday evening.
Biden visited Ireland this week for a trip commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement that ended The Troubles, a nationalist conflict in Ireland that spanned from the 1960s to 1990s. In addition to Biden's official business, the trip was also defined by the president's own personal heritage and connections to the country. Biden is the second Irish-Catholic president, following John F. Kennedy, to visit Ireland.
Videos online show Biden walk onto the stage, flanked by both the Irish and American flag, to festive traditional Irish music. Thousands of people are seen cheering and waving flags as he prepared to speak.
