A giant balloon depicting US President Donald Trump as an angry baby is set for Irish shores.
Organisers say they want to join planned protests against Mr Trump's visit here.
The White House and the Irish Government confirmed the visit in November on Friday.
The White House said the US president is visiting "to renew the deep and historic ties between our two nations".
The news has prompted a number of political parties to express their opposition to the trip.
The Green Party has claimed the Government should cancel the trip, and called for "large scale public demonstrations" if it goes ahead.
People Before Profit insisted they will be part of organising "massive protests" against President Trump - and Labour leader Brendan Howlin also pledged that his party will oppose the visit.
While British campaigners behind the baby balloon protest said the Irish trip was "an excellent opportunity".
Speaking to the British Independent, organiser Kevin Smith said: "We'd love to take the Trump baby over to Ireland for the president's visit.
"When we passed our original crowd-funding target, we said we'd use the excess money to take the Trump baby wherever we could to globally troll Donald, and so this would be an excellent opportunity.
"We've been so inspired by all the people in the streets in Ireland that have been fighting for things like gay marriage and abortion rights, so we're presuming there's going to be a massive show of resistance to Trump's politics of hate and division and it would be an honour for the Trump baby to be part of that."

A crowdfunding campaign in support of the project raised some €19,000 - more than 20 times the amount organisers were looking for.
Organisers were granted permission to fly the balloon in London with strict conditions.
According to Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) regulations, a balloon in captive or tethered flight "shall not be flown within 60 metres of any vessel, vehicle or structure except with the permission of the person in charge of any such vessel vehicle or structure."
It also should not be flown within 150 metres of a cloudbase or higher than 60 metres above ground level, measured to the top of the balloon.
Where it is proposed to tether a balloon of total height 45 metres or more, the Operating Standards Department needs to be advised at least 24 hours beforehand.
A balloon must also be "securely moored and shall be equipped with a device which ensures its automatic deflation should it break free of its moorings."
A spokesperson said the organisers "would need specific permission from us" and Air Traffic Control - depending on where they intend to fly it.
