The Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in Dublin for a short visit today.
This morning, he met with Leo Varadkar at Farmleigh House in the Phoenix Park, where the pair discussed topics like free trade, women in politics and Brexit.
It's the first official visitor Leo Varadkar has had since becoming Taoiseach and to mark the occasion, he wore Canadian-themed maple socks and showed Trudeau how to play hurling.
