Serious criminals suspects in golf course destruction

GARDAÍ suspect serious criminals from the Travelling community were behind the partial destruction of a local authority-owned golf course in Dublin.

Detectives believe the vandalism is connected with the Traveller’s protest over a road barrier in Dunsink Lane, Finglas, north Dublin.

Officers say the damage to the Elmgreen public golf course in Castleknock was carried out after an agreement was made between Traveller representatives and Fingal County Council.
