US President Donald Trump arrived in Ireland on Saturday, 12 September, landing at Dublin Airport aboard Air Force One for a two-day visit. His arrival followed an extraordinary security declaration by An Garda Síochána, which mobilized 10,000 garda shifts—each lasting 12 hours—spanning Friday through Sunday to manage the visit’s security requirements.
As part of the heightened security measures, Phoenix Park was closed to the public during Trump’s stay, impacting popular attractions such as Dublin Zoo and Magazine Fort. Separately, access to Doonbeg village, Trump International Golf Links, and surrounding areas was restricted beginning on 11 September and remained in place until Sunday evening.
