The President's security detail don't comment on his accommodation plans but it's widely expected he'll stay at his Doonbeg golf resort in Co.Clare for two nights.
Mr.Trump will also be in the UK and France during the trip to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

A spokeswoman for the Irish Embassy in Washington welcomed the announcement of the visit.
"Detailed arrangements around the visit will be made public in due course," she said.
