Taoiseach Micheál Martin goes to the Oval Office on Tuesday – St Patrick’s Day – for what is the biggest test of his diplomatic skills since the last time he put on the obligatory green tie and visited Donald Trump at the White House.

Washington Correspondent Keith Duggan and Political Editor Pat Leahy will be at the White House on Tuesday, and you’ll be able to follow every moment live on irishtimes.com. Our Film Correspondent Donald Clarke runs through the categories and suggests who will win and who should win in each.
