bbc.com —

A man in his 50s has been charged following a public order incident during former US President Joe Biden's visit to Trinity College in Dublin, where his son Hunter received an award. The man was one of three arrested on Tuesday as pro-Palestinian protesters gathered during the ceremony for Hunter Biden's Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution for Public Discourse. The other two arrestees, aged in their 30s and late teens, were released without charge. Hunter Biden was convicted of gun and tax crimes in 2024 but pardoned by his father. The Bidens also met Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin, who highlighted Biden's Irish roots.
