Gardaí probe planning claims

CLARE gardaí are investigating allegations that official planning documents for a hotel and holiday homes at a controversial €25 million golf course were altered.

David McNamara of Parteen, Co Clare, has complained to Ennis gardaí about documents sent by Clare County Council to An Bord Pleanála after permission was granted for a hotel and houses at Doonbeg Golf Course.

Mr McNamara wants gardaí to examine the dates of documents passed on by the council to An Bord Pleánala last June.
