Tickets for the Dublin event, which will see Irish economist David McWilliams (he is co-founder of Dalkey Book Festival with his wife Sian) interview Mr Sanders, go on sale this Friday for €15. The talk will be the first time the long serving senator has visited Ireland.

Mr Sanders’s brother, Larry, lives in the UK where he contested the 2016 general election as a Green Party candidate.

The Dalkey book festival will be held in the south Dublin suburb, beginning on Thursday, June 15th, and running until the following Sunday. Other speakers include authors John Banville and Paul Howard, comedian PJ Gallagher, and Oscar winning director Neil Jordan.

Mr Sanders will speak about his alternative vision for American politics and the growing opposition to president Donald Trump.

Mr Sanders has been one of Mr Trump’s most outspoken critics. The senator heavily opposed the president’s nomination for the White House secretary of education position Betsy DeVos, when she appeared before the US Senate Mr Sanders said she was chosen because of the large donations her family made to the Republican party.
