Clare council gives green light for Doonbeg upgrade works

Council granted planning permission after eco-experts said the works would not have any impact on protected snail

The Trump organisation has ploughed more than €40m, including the purchase price, into the resort since it came under its ownership in February 2014.

Clare County Council has given the green light to US president Donald Trump's golf resort at Doonbeg for new upgrade works.

In a decision issued on Wednesday, the council has granted planning permission to TIGL Ireland Enterprises after concluding the works would not seriously injure the amenities of the property in the vicinity.
