Donald Trump: Dublin protest over president's Irish visit
- Published
The Dublin protest is taking place at the Garden of Remembrance
A protest has been held in Dublin over the visit to Ireland of President Donald Trump.
Demonstrators hoisted the "Trump Baby" inflatable blimp that has become a staple of rallies against him.
Organisers received special permission from the Irish Aviation Authority to fly the blimp, which has been transported from the UK.
President Trump is to spend his second night in a row at the Doonbeg golf resort in County Clare.
On Wednesday, hundreds of people turned out in the village to welcome President Trump to the country's west coast.
While the president made no appearances open to the Irish public, his sons toured the pubs in Doonbeg on Wednesday, buying drinks for almost everyone in the village.

Several thousand protesters then marched from the Garden of Remembrance down O'Connell Street.
