Trump Visit To Continue In Clare This Evening

The US Presidential visit will continue in Clare later, when the Trumps return to Ireland from D-Day commemorations in France.

Donald Trump will host a dinner in Doonbeg tonight before hitting the golf course tomorrow.

However, tonight will also see what’s likely to be the largest anti-Trump protest of his visit held in Dublin.

Donald Trump has joined world leaders including Emmanual Macron and Theresa May to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

But his trip to France is brief – later, he’ll be back in Ireland for the remainder of his visit here, which will be a private affair.

Today, Clare’s Fianna Fáil TD has hit out at the President’s support of Brexit, especially at a time when he’s marking international co-operation during World War II.
Later, the infamous Trump baby balloon – made famous in UK protests – will grace the skies of Dublin as part of a major demonstration at Dublin’s Garden of remembrance.

Organiser Colm O’Gorman of Amnesty International says they felt it’s vital they make their views against President Trump known.

The Taoiseach says peaceful democratic demonstrations against the President are welcome, but one former office holder is expressing a different view.

John Bruton is concerned that shunning the President could backfire.
