Tribunal may probe golfing hotel

THE Flood Tribunal will examine a call to investigate planning permission granted for a hotel at a controversial €16m golf course development.

Doonbeg Golf Club Limited (DGCL) was granted permission by Clare Co Council last May to build a 33-bedroom hotel and 48 houses close to the Greg Norman-designed links course at Doonbeg.

However, the official stamp-date on the planning file was altered which has resulted in one objector to the development calling for a full investigation into the file.
