Irish President Catherine Connolly delivered a blunt message to Donald Trump during their closely watched Dublin meeting, telling the US president that the Irish people would not accept the normalisation of war and genocide.
The message came during Trump's courtesy call at Áras an Uachtaráin on Saturday, 12 September, as his two-day visit to Ireland unfolded amid tensions over the war involving Iran and Israel, protests over his foreign policy and renewed debate over Northern Ireland.
