Both US President Joe Biden and Rob Kearney’s dad, David Joseph Donald Kearney, are fifth cousins, descended from Finnegan and Kearney families on the Cooley Peninsula in County Louth. Joe Biden’s principal Irish ancestors are the Blewitts of Mayo and the Finnegans and Kearneys of Louth. His great-great-grandfather was Owen Finnegan, who married Jean Boyle in 1839 and was from the Cooley Peninsula in County Louth.
Former Ireland rugby player Rob Kearney was delighted to meet US Vice President Joe Biden on St. Patrick’s Day.
Irish rugby and the White House have a connection since Biden is fifth cousins with David Kearney, the father of the Kearney brothers Rob and Dave. On St. Patrick’s Day, the Irish legend was permitted to visit the White House and even pose for a portrait with the 46th President of the United States. Kearney was even wearing a one-of-a-kind headgear that Biden had custom-made for him. Even Ireland’s team, who will face England in the Grand Slam final, got counsel from the current US President.
