Irish authorities have announced major security and policing operations ahead of US President Donald Trump’s visit to the country on September 12 and 13. The operations will cover both Dublin and West Clare, where Trump is scheduled to attend events at his golf resort in Doonbeg. Gardai, the Irish police force, have warned the public to expect traffic restrictions and movement limitations in the area.
The visit has sparked protests, with demonstrations planned across Ireland over concerns related to the Gaza situation. Activists are critical of Trump’s policies and his recent actions in the region. Meanwhile, the government is preparing to implement the Occupied Territories Bill, which will make the importation of goods from Israeli settlements illegal. The bill is set to commence two days after Trump’s return from his visit.
Security measures include the deployment of specialized units and the use of quadbike patrols. The scale of the operation is described as one of the largest in Irish police history. Officials have emphasized the need for strict security protocols to ensure the safety of all participants and visitors during the high-profile visit.
