"This is a fact finding mission so he can update himself and given that he meets many of the leading business people and political figures in the world everyday in his very busy schedule, I think that's a great opportunity and we're just taking advantage of it," he said.

The Clintons have been long-time supporters of the Northern Ireland peace process and have made several high-profile visits in both official and personal capacities.
