Donald Trump is no friend to Ireland. His warmongering has caused the fuel crisis, and worsened the cost of living. He is overseeing a rollback in human rights in the US, and a normalisation of toxic, divisive rhetoric. We will continue to resist his deplorable politics.

Shannon Airport was like a military zone yesterday, I've never seen so many Guards. There was miles and miles of security fencing and tanks patrolling up and down, with masked soldiers in full combat gear. Why are we spending millions and relocating all the guards in the country to Welcome TRUMP.
