Donald Trump is traveling to Ireland on Saturday to meet Prime Minister Micheál Martin and watch some golf. However, the visit has sparked protests.

The European Tour is taking place this weekend in Doonbeg, western Ireland, on a course owned by Donald Trump. The US President is scheduled to present the winner's trophy on Sunday and also take the opportunity to watch some of the tournament.

However, his visit is not welcomed in the country; according to an opinion poll published in the Irish *Sunday Independent*, 69 percent are critical of Trump's visit.
