Some Irish journalists have travelled to the States to cover the trip, including the Irish Independent's Hugh O'Connell.

Representatives from the Irish Arts Center explain that the brick was part of the original building that house the tyre shop. Importantly, the building was built in 1916, which they explain gives it an Irish-American connection.
