The Unite trade union has urged the Government to oppose any proposed visit by US President Donald Trump to Ireland
Delegates at the Unite conference in Dublin overwhelmingly backed a motion committing members to oppose any such visit, and criticising Mr Trump's policies as "racist, sexist, homophobic, warmongering and dangerous."
Delegate Memet Uludag described the President as an "equal opportunities oppressor", saying there was not one section of society, national or international, that he had not offended, targeted or attacked. Mr Uludag stressed that the motion did not mean that Unite was attacking American people and their choice.
He accused Mr Trump of endorsing far-right mobilisations in the United States, and of being an "anti-union man" - and urged trade unionists to tell him that he was not welcome in this country.
