A man has been charged in relation to a "public order incident" following a visit by former US President Joe Biden to Trinity College in Dublin.
Biden was accompanied by former first lady Jill Biden as they attended a ceremony on Tuesday where their son Hunter was awarded the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution for Public Discourse.
During the trio's visit to the College Historical Society groups of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered, some of whom were detained by gardaí (Irish police).
Gardaí said the man, aged in his 50s, was one of three arrested on Tuesday. The other two men, one aged in his 30s and the other in his late teens, have been released without charge.
A number of garda officers and public order unit vans were on site at the university on Tuesday.
In 2024 Hunter Biden was convicted of gun and tax crimes in in the US but was later pardoned by his father while he was still president .
It made him the first child of a sitting president to be a convicted of a crime.
Previous recipients of the award include former Irish president Michael D Higgins, Bob Geldof, Patti Smith, Julian Assange and Desmond Tutu.
The former US president and his family also met with the Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Micheál Martin.
Martin said on X that he had been pleased to welcome the family and that they reflected on Biden's "strong Irish roots".
