President Obama stayed about 19 hours and a motorway plaza was named after him.

President Trump is surely owed a motorway plaza and a few town streets.

Trump will build the wall. Nobody does it better. Doonbeg is not doomed!

I dont think the Taoiseach regularly meets the owners of golf clubs in Shannon... at least I hope not. Only gets out of bed just for popstars and presidents.

Its not meeting is the problem (think its good to have meeting with forgien leaders etc)

Its just to me seems an extravagent waste of resources when lads going around shooting each other in dublin for what is an unoffial visit by trump.....will we be expected to do same into the future when he retires??

It makes me sick to see them roll out the welcome for drumpf, if they love walls so much maybe we can wall off doonbeg from the rest of the country

True. But now, it will always be a Golf Club that was owned and visited by a P.O.T.U.S.

For the town of Doonbeg that's a massive (financially lucrative) change in their circumstances. .

Great for the Doonbeg natives, but the rest of us could not give two hoots really, and eaten bread is soon forgotten.

National broadband plan is ludicrous money in the billions.
This is a once off visit by the head of state of the USA costing ten million.
Whats the budget for tourism ireland? Think of it as coming from that.

Fair enough! Squeeze those pips Doonbeg! Think of the extra hang sangwiches and tae that will be sold today, to hungry protesters!

Indeed it's his policies with respect to trade and support of Brexit that will affect the entire country that are of greater concern

I actually like the misogynist racist. Trying to follow through with promises at least. More true to his word than most

How do you think the Yankees feel about having to have us over every Paddys Day?
This is the quid pro quo for all those White House visits, congressional dinners and trade missions.

Between the money he has put into Doonbeg, and the publicity this visit has generated for american tourists, I think the Trump has the ten million indirectly covered.

Did Noonan meet Trump at Shannon a few years back surrounded by Oirish Dancers etc when the Don was buying Doonbeg?

Are we still talking about the protestors or have we moved onto the Trump juniors?

Trying but failing, or in some cases not even trying. Do you think that wall will ever be built? And as for draining the swamp, that's a joke.

To best of my knowlege the paddys day visit is offial...your comparing apples and oranges?

Trump.is a multi billionaire businesman,who prob stands to make millions off his doonbeg investment (and more power to him for that)....but why are my taxes being used to cover security costs for an unoffial trip/holiday for him??

Well there's a lot of talk about the only way to starve who you think is narcissistic is to ignore them.

They feed off of negative and positive energy, it's actually like retuning an engine for more power and the more power and fuel you feed the engine the further and faster it goes.
Keep on maintaining it and it'll last a long time...

But the protesters know nothing about npd or people in power.....

They don't care

Unless they're ignored then they deflate quite rapidly.....

Every year they host us officially and you are that concerned about the status of a return visit?

Is Leo a buddy of his? A member of Doombeg golf club?
You dont meet Leo if you are only here on holiday. That visit did not happen by chance
It may not be a full blown state level visit but it is official.
