Independent Councillor Micheál Choilm Mac Giolla Easbuig has called on Enda Kenny to boycott this years annual White House visit in light of US president’s controversial ruling to bar travel from seven predominately Muslim countries.
The West Donegal councillor said that it can be described as ” nothing short of fascism to ban people from travel because of thier religious beliefs and that a meeting with Trump only legitimises and accepts the US president and his administration.”
Mac Giolla Easbuig also claimed that the Trump administration also puts Irish immigrants living in the US at risk of Deportation.
“I feel for the Irish living in the US at this time as they face à very uncertain future and Donald Trumps early indications suggest that he could very well déport Irish citizens living in the US . We have to be very conscious about who we do business with and I believe that it’s our moral obligation to send a strong message to the American regime.
