Around 2,000 people have filled Dublin city center in a noisy and colorful protest march against the visit of Donald Trump to Ireland.
The Trump baby blimp flew overhead as demonstrators left Ireland’s Garden of Remembrance for Dublin city center.
Climate change, left-wing, pro-Palestine, anti-racism and anti-war activists mounted a rally after Mr Trump returned to Ireland following D-Day commemorations in France.
Andrew Grossen, 23, from Minnesota, a student at a Dublin university, said: “I am an American citizen joining my Irish friends protesting the president.
“I believe he is morally, constitutionally and temperamentally unfit for the office of the presidency.
“His abuse of powers in the role constitutes impeachment and removal from office, and this is a good show of support for taking that action.”
Protesters marched past the General Post Office on the main artery of O’Connell Street and raised their voices to urge the US President to go home.

Joseph Campbell, from Belfast, said: “There are protests all over the country and there seems to be lots of people out there who want Mr Trump to go home and not have a good time.
“I am sure he will have a great time.
“He lives in a big castle and is closed away in his ivory tower but anyway we get a chance in our democracy to tell people what we think about them, especially politicians that we don’t like.”
A garda estimated around 2,000 people took part in the protests.
Earlier, around 100 people gathered at Shannon Airport as the US President landed at a facility regularly used by the US military, with around 10 campaigners staying on site for an overnight vigil.
