Micheál Martin: I've no difficulty with Fianna Fáil members protesting Donald Trump's Ireland visit

Fianna Fáil members will be allowed to protest the November visit of divisive US president Donald Trump to Ireland but must remember to "respect" the long-standing connection between Ireland and America.

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin confirmed he will not stand in the way of any elected member of the party joining protests against Mr Trump's visit later this year, saying it is "very clear" the party is opposed to many of his policies.
