Doonbeg resort set for ‘banner’ 2017 says Donald Trump’s son

The son of incoming US president Donald Trump has said that next year will be a banner one for the Doonbeg resort in Co Clare after it had its strongest year to date in 2016.

Eric Trump said that in spite of 2015 being a loss-making year, it was “an amazing year for Trump Doonbeg” and 2016 was even better.

New accounts filed by Trump International Golf Club (TIGL) Ireland Enterprises Ltd with the Companies Office show that the firm recorded pre-tax losses of €2.5m last year.
