Builder ordered to end sit-in protest at golf resort

A GOLF course builder who is staging a sit-in at a golf resort was ordered by the courts yesterday to end his protest.

Kelcar Developments, who developed the Blarney Golf Resort in Co Cork, secured an injunction at Cork District Court ordering Mel Flanagan of Irish Golf Design to leave the site.

Mr Flanagan — whose contract to build the John Daly-designed course was terminated in 2005 — has been living in a caravan just inside the resort gates since the weekend.
