Man considers legal action over golf course

A CLARE man is considering taking legal action against his county council over the alleged altering of planning documents at a €25m golf course development.

David McNamara of Parteen was late in lodging an initial objection to the building of a 33-bedroom hotel and 48 houses at the Greg Norman-designed Doonbeg course. However, the council later admitted errors were made in date-stamping the application.

The golf club and the council insist that they have receipts to prove the application was submitted on April 4, rather than April 16, the date originally stamped on the file.
