Former taoiseach Bertie Ahern and several senior ministers will also be there.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin will be there tomorrow, along with other senior ministers.

The Taoiseach described how figures such as Albert Reynolds and John Hume were also criticised for their work in the peace process in the North.

The Taoiseach also plans to meet a number of companies, including Dell, during his visit as he’ll stress the importance of Irish investment in the US.

There is a vacant seat on Roscommon County Council after Gareth Scahill received a Taoiseach's nomination to the Seanad.

This has raised concerns about the role of European defence forces in the case of an escalation in the war.

It comes as the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste are set to travel to the White House for St. Patrick's Day.

The Government role will allow Deputy Feighan to focus on issues affecting the constituency.

They also say emergency moves are underway to rectify the issue today with the office open again from 9am-1pm tomorrow morning.

Micháel Martin will meet with local authority staff and members of the fire service in Ballaghaderreen as part of the visit.

It comes after hundreds attended a protest in the town following an alleged assault on a teenager.
