Trump sees twice as many jobs in Doonbeg future

Donald Trump can envisage employing twice as many people during the peak season once Trump International Golf Links And Hotel Ireland is fully up and running.

The American billionaire also said that the "comeback" he expects in Ireland in the coming years was crucial to his decision to invest in the West Clare resort.

At a cost of €15m, Trump believes that he has secured a scarcely believable bargain in landing a course he estimates has seen a €300m investment to date.
