Large policing operation under way for Trump visit
One of the biggest policing operations in the history of the State is under way for the visit of US President Donald Trump.
A massive police operation is underway in preparation for US President Donald Trump's visit to Ireland. The visit includes protests planned in Dublin and Clare, along with significant travel restrictions in both counties. Trump's visit starts in Dublin, triggering travel restrictions around Dublin Airport and the Phoenix Park. Although the airport continues to operate normally, travelers should allocate extra time for their journeys due to road restrictions, particularly on the M50 between Junctions 3 and 6, with the most impact between 8am and 9am, and 12pm and 1pm.
A large protest is scheduled to march from Parnell Square to Government Buildings in Dublin city center, causing rolling road closures from 1pm. Following the capital, Trump will travel to Clare for the Irish Open at his Trump International Golf Links & Hotel in Doonbeg. Protests are anticipated at Shannon Airport and Doonbeg Village.
Shannon Airport will function as usual, but visitors are advised to allow extra time and bring photo ID and valid flight documents. Access to Doonbeg village and the hotel will be restricted, except for locals. Marine security measures are in place off the coast of Co. Wicklow, and drone restrictions are enforced in various locations.
RTÉ will provide continuous coverage of Trump's visit throughout the weekend, offering live updates online from early Saturday and a TV special at 8:20 am on RTÉ 1 and the RTÉ News Channel.
