Proposal for golf club to give €1m to charity fails

At its AGM on Monday, Members of Douglas Golf Club in Cork were expected to consider motions from two members that they donate to 23 charities €1m of a €6m fund which has been sitting in its bank account for the past seven years.
According to the club’s accounts, it received a €6m non-refundable deposit from developer Castlelands Construction as part of a proposed land swap that never took place.
