Gardai take up security duties at Shannon Airport ahead of Donald Trump visit to Ireland
Gardaí have already taken up security duties at Shannon Airport as preparations for a possible visit by US President Donald Trump continue.
There has been some disagreement between Irish and US officials over a venue for a possible meeting between Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and the President Trump. Sources have confirmed however that a road route would always have to be identified and available in case weather conditions or other issues affected plans to use air transport.
One of the biggest elements of the massive security operation will be to identity, count and mark all manhole and drain covers on the entire route. It’s also known that as many as 30 US officials, including US secret service agents, visited the Trump property earlier this month.
