SDLP D.C. Bound

Pic of Day: SDLP leader Colum Eastwood says the party will send a delegation to Washington D.C. for St. Patrick's Day, this in the face of calls for Irish political leaders to boycott the annual celebrations in the U.S. capital as a result of Israeli actions in Gaza. Eastwood indicated that his party would use the visit as an opportunity to press for an end to the fighting. However he himself will not travel with the delegation and while its members will be in Washington they will not be attending the celebration event in the White House. RollingNews.ie file photo.
