Donald Trump set to purchase Doonbeg golf resort for €15m

American property mogul Donald Trump is in the frame to purchase the five-star Doonbeg golf resort in Co Clare for around €15m.

The flamboyant New Yorker, who already owns a suite of 15 golf resorts around the world, is understood to be close to agreeing a package to purchase the resort from investment fund company, King Street.

Ernst & Young’s Luke Charleton and David Hughes were appointed receivers last month, and expressed their confidence at the time that a sale would be completed within six weeks.
