Trump considers Irish golf course buy

BILLIONAIRE Donald Trump is considering adding an Irish golf course to his portfolio of 10 courses in the US, Europe, and the Caribbean.

This week, his son, Donald J Trump Jnr, 33, flew into Ireland and held meetings in Dublin’s Shelbourne Hotel, with the aim of adding a second European course to the €1.12 billion luxury golf course and property complex being developed by the family organisation in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

The Irish Examiner understands that Mr Trump engaged with the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA) through KPMG and that the sale of distressed assets in Ireland to the Trump organisation was discussed.
