Ireland Braces For Major Protests During Trump’s Visit
An Garda Síochána told TIME the force does not comment or speculate on operational matters.
Amid much discussion over the trip and the expected protests, here’s what we know so far.
Security concerns mount as protests loom
Planning is already underway for various protests, with one of the most significant demonstrations set to take place in Ireland’s capital, Dublin.
The protest is scheduled to start on Sept. 12 at the Garden of Remembrance, a public memorial to those who “gave their lives in the cause of Irish freedom.”
Sara O’Rourke of the Irish Neutrality League told the Irish Times that the “protest will be under the banner of no welcome for Trump.”
Protest organizers said they expect a “big” but “safe event,” which they described as a “family-friendly, peaceful protest.”
Paul Murphy of the People Before Profit-Solidarity party said he is expecting a “massive protest” which will have “a broad coalition with a basic theme of no welcome for Trump.”
