‘Get him in and out quickly’: Clare locals divided ahead of Trump’s Ireland trip

Residents are split over Trump’s visit, with some citing jobs and tourism while others back protests and a heavy Garda presence.

  • President Donald Trump arrived in Ireland this weekend for engagements in Dublin and at Trump National Golf Club in Doonbeg, Clare, where he will attend the Irish Open.
  • Many residents in Doonbeg recognize Trump's economic importance to the village, with some noting they would have to emigrate without his property investment, though others express strong opposition to his political positions.
  • Protests are planned under the "No Welcome for Trump" banner in Dublin, Doonbeg, and at Shannon Airport, with activists voicing dissent over the president's policies and record.
  • Gaza activist Connolly faces calls from Irish political parties to raise Middle East issues during her brief meeting with Trump, while the Irish Government navigates pressure to maintain relations given US investment.
  • An extensive Garda police presence has deployed throughout Doonbeg and surrounding areas with constant patrols and road closures to manage the high-profile visit amid planned demonstrations.
