Golf club vows to pursue trespassers through courts

OWNERS of the acclaimed Old Head golf course in Kinsale, Co Cork have pledged to pursue “extremist” trespassers through the courts amid fears of a fresh wave of illegal protests on the multi-million euro development.

Despite a unanimous Supreme Court ruling that there are no public rights of access to the Old Head, activists are gearing up for a summer of disruption at the 15m luxury development, rated one of the most spectacular golf experiences in the world.

A 'mass trespass' is planned for tomorrow, sparking fears of another blow to local tourism.
