There were some small demonstrations nearby. The peace camp demonstration had about 200 people there from Shannonwatch, Extinction Rebellion and there was also a small group of about 30 pro-Trump demonstrators. New MEP Clare Daly was among the anti-Trump demonstrators. It was all fairly mild and good humored and is likely to have no impact on the president or his policies.
