President Trump addressed U.S. Embassy personnel at the Deerfield Residence in Dublin on Saturday as part of his weekend visit to Ireland, which also included meetings with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin and President Catherine Connolly. During his meeting with Martin, Trump said he would like to see a unified Ireland, calling it a “fantastic” prospect. His visit also includes a stop at his golf property in Doonbeg for the Irish Open.
As the U.S. president heads to his Doonbeg hotel for the Irish Open, locals expressed both appreciation for the resort’s economic benefits and opposition to his politics.
Liam Madden, an Irish architect who is known for blocking development projects across the country, is coming for Donald Trump’s Irish ballroom. Madden filed a petition to stop the construction of a 320-seat ballroom at Trump’s Doonbeg golf course citing concerns about a tiny, endangered species of snail.

The president's five-star hotel and golf course, which was designed by legendary golfer Greg Norman, is located on the west coast of Ireland. It stretches 400 acres along 1.5 miles of beach.
