Thousands marched in Dublin on Saturday against Donald Trump's visit to Ireland. [1] The Irish Times filed a procession from the Garden of Remembrance toward Leinster House after he had left the city for Doonbeg. [1] Organizers claimed a higher headcount. This desk prints thousands, not an organizer's 25,000, unless a named count certifies it.

Trump met President Catherine Connolly and Taoiseach Micheál Martin, then flew to County Clare for the Irish Open, in the same day's file. [2] A golf stop is not a cancelled state call. A protest after he left Dublin is not a blocked arrival. Print the march. Print that he had already gone west.

Smaller protests at Shannon and Doonbeg are in the PA wrap. [2] Placards and Palestinian flags are color. Color is not a Dáil vote. Print thousands. Leave a united-Ireland speech to the edition that owns the quote as its lead.

Color marches; votes decide. Saturday's color is counted in thousands. The Dáil counts differently.

Different counts, different rooms: Saturday counts thousands in the street. The Dáil counts votes. He had already gone west.

Print thousands. Color is not a Dáil vote. He had already gone west.

The march filled Dublin after the visitor was already in Clare. Headcounts on this page stay at thousands; organizers' 25,000 is their claim. The state calls happened before the golf; the street happened after he left. Smaller Shannon and Doonbeg pickets do not become a parliamentary vote.
Saturday's street is not a Dáil vote. Color is not a Dáil vote. He had already gone west.

Saturday's street is not a Dáil vote. Color is not a Dáil vote. He had already gone west.
