Subject: Travel Pool Report #19 — Back to Ireland
Motorcade left the Hotel de la Prefecture at 4:24 PM local, more than an hour after POTUS and Macron began their working lunch.
Pool did not see POTUS join the motorcade, which many locals along the route stopped to photograph. We arrived at the airport at 4:44 PM and caught a brief glimpse of the president boarding. POTUS flashed a thumbs up to pool before ducking inside the smaller AF1.
We are wheels up for Shannon, Ireland at 4:53 PM.
Subject: Travel Pool Report #20 — Arrival in Shannon
AF1 touched down at Shannon International Airport at 6:11 PM local. After a brief reprieve across the English Channel, we have returned to chilly Irish weather.
POTUS and FLOTUS deplaned at 6:20 PM and were wheels up in Marine One at 6:26 PM. They will travel separately from the pool back to his golf course in Doonbeg.
