Kennedy visit ends amid protest in Ireland
Senator Ted Kennedy wrapped up a three day Ireland swing after a Trinity College audience provoked by left wing students with about 500 surrounding his car and shouting anti Kennedy slogans.

He drew on global oppression and nuclear arms concerns while recalling his brother John F Kennedy.
