Donald Trump's two-day Ireland visit erupted into controversy as thousands of Dublin protesters took to the streets with hostile chants, cutting banners and provocative Trump-themed inflatables, while the US president sparked a separate political storm by declaring that a united Ireland 'may as well happen now'.
The demonstration began in central Dublin before moving towards the Dáil, with protesters chanting, 'Donald Trump, can you hear? We don't want you here.' Organisers and speakers also focused on Gaza, US foreign policy, immigration and Ireland's military neutrality.
