Anger at President Donald Trump invite proposal in Kerry

A motion calling on Kerry County Council to issue an invitation to US president Donald Trump to visit the Kingdom is likely to provoke heated debate in council chambers.

The formal motion has been placed by Fianna Fáil councillor Thomas McEllistrim for today’s monthly meeting.

A similar move by the councillor, by way of an unflagged emergency motion at the start of the Christmas meeting in Milltown in mid-December, provoked an angry response from several members, a number of whom objected to the way Mr Trump spoke about women and others.
