The US President referenced the incident in a speech at a St Patrick's Day lunch in Washington
President Joe Biden has praised Northern Ireland's political leaders standing together following the attempted murder of a police detective in Co Tyrone last month.
The New IRA, an armed dissident republican group opposed to the peace process, has been blamed for the attack on the high-profile officer.Following the murder bid, senior figures from the main Stormont parties went together to meet PSNI Chief Constable Simon Byrne to receive an update on the incident.
Mr Biden referenced the incident in a speech at a St Patrick's Day lunch hosted by Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Friday. Mr Byrne was a guest at the lunch in Washington DC, as were the leaders of the five main Stormont parties.
A visit by Mr Biden to Northern Ireland to mark the Good Friday deal has long been anticipated but there has been speculation that it might not materialise if the powersharing impasse at Stormont is ongoing in April.
