But gathered at an Irish pub in the suburbs of the city are a group of young Republicans who don't want to miss US President Donald Trump's prime-time address to Congress.

About a dozen members of the party have piled into the back room of the pub while Fox News blares on surrounding TV screens.

People have come out wearing red, white and blue, with flag pins and scarves to accessorise.

Before the speech started, members of the club told me how excited they were to hear Trump's policy proposals.
