Want to get a photo with Obama in Dublin? It'll cost you over €2,000

Members of the Irish public may be able to meet former US President Barack Obama — for over €2,000. The former US President will be interviewed at the 3Arena in Dublin this September, where he will speak with journalist Fintan O'Toole about his time in office, as well as the future of America.
