The president and the Irish prime minister, Micheál Martin, and Mrs. Martin entered the East Room at 5:44 pm for the St. Patrick's Day reception. The room is packed with people here to witness the presentation of a bowl of shamrocks by the taoiseach.
Glasses of a dark beverage, presumably Guinness stout, are visible in the hands of many guests, as are flutes of what is more likely champagne.
The event is being streamed.
