US-Irish charity loses High Court bid to keep prime Ryder Cup vantage point
High Court Judge Mr Justice Frank Clarke turned down an application from the small but politically influential US-Ireland Alliance. The alliance was seeking a mandatory injunction forcing Ryder Cup organisers to let it retain the prime Liffey Suite beside the K Club’s 17th fairway, which it claimed it had been promised.
Both the Ryder Cup organisers and the Platinum One agency, contracted to sell hospitality spaces for the Ryder Cup, rejected the claim.
