"Donald Trump is a promoter of the politics of hate, of corporate greed, of war and of prejudice and I think it's really shameful that Leo Varadkar would bring him over here to legitimise and endorse those politics.

"I'd really urge people who believe in peace, equality and justice to come out and protest against Trump's really nasty political agenda."
