The Roscrea man attended Joe Biden's inauguration yesterday.
US President Joe Biden says he wants a return to 'decency and dignity' that had been missing during Donald Trump's reign.
Mr Biden starts his first full day in office, pledging to unify the country and heal divisions after four turbulent years.
The President has already started work by signing orders reversing many of Donald Trump's policies, including rejoining the Paris Accord.
In a public meeting with his presidential appointees, Joe Biden says he wants his administration to act with 'humility and trust':
Roscrea's Mark Kirwan has been a police officer in the US for the last two decades and was on duty during President Biden's inauguration.
He says there's an atmosphere of positive change in the air:
