Greens extend invite to Donald Trump

The Deputy Leader of the Green Party has invited Donald Trump to meet with her during his visit to Ireland.

Speaking at the Green's annual convention in Cork today TD Catherine Martin said Mr Trump's views on race, gender, and the environment are extremely worrying, and that the opportunity for dialogue should be used.

Last week, the Green Party called for a peaceful, purposeful protest when Donald Trump arrives here, to show him that Ireland rejects his divisive views.

The presumptive Republican nominee is coming to Ireland for a short visit in two weeks time.
