Irish town most obsessed with US President Joe Biden - and it's not in Mayo or Louth

Celbridge in Kildare is the Irish town most obsessed with the US President, a study has found.

Researchers from Digital Funnel said Malahide, Greystones, Bray, and Wicklow Town all followed closely behind.

The report was compiled after trawling through Google search data to conclude which town was most obsessed.

The results were calculated by examining Google search data for the last five US Presidents to visit Ireland - Bill Clinton, George W Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and current President, Joe Biden.

Irish-American Biden, 80, will visit Ireland next month.

Towns such as Ranafast in Donegal and Groyne in Kerry were among the ones with the lowest interest.

Dublin topped the list of counties that searched for information on the US President most.

Ian Carroll, Company Director of Digital Funnel said: “American presidents coming to Ireland offers a unique opportunity to highlight what an amazing place Ireland is.

“Ireland and the US have always had a close relationship and the Irish diaspora in America have always embraced their heritage, so it's nice to see that here in Ireland we are just as intrigued about America.

“With 23 US presidents tracing their lineage back to Ireland it's no surprise that we are a little curious! And with everyone wondering where Biden will visit, the data clearly suggests that Celbridge, Co. Kildare wants him the most.”
