RTÊ–Two arrests were made after a group of protesters and onlookers gathered outside Trinity College Dublin during a visit of former US president Joe Biden.

Biden made the surprise visit to Trinity College Dublin as his son Hunter was awarded the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution for Public Discourse by the world’s oldest student society. He was joined by former first lady Jill Biden.

Pro-Palestinian protesters had gathered outside the event to voice their opposition. As the Bidens left the venue following the ceremony, some people moved forward and objects were thrown, including milk [, stones and bottles].

A number of Garda public order unit vans and officers were on site and at least two arrests were made.
