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

The Donald Trump owned Trump Doonbeg resort in Co Clare was paid over €107,000 to provide food to Gardaí deployed around west Clare to protect the US President during his two-night June visit.

The sometime scourge of plans by Trump Doonbeg and other developers has lost out on his own plans to extend the number of Airbnb style studio lettings at his protected Georgian Dublin property.

Residents, environment groups, and surfers file objections to planned protection works at Doonbeg
