Appeals board refuses planning permission for Trump Doonbeg 'sea wall'

An Bord Pleanála has refused planning permission to Trump Doonbeg’s contentious plans for coastal protection plans at the west Clare course.

The ruling by An Bord Pleanála overturns a decision made by Clare County Council in December 2017 to give the Trump firm the go-ahead for 38,000 tonnes of rock to be placed in front of the course at Doughmore beach.
