Donald may be trumped by Clare wind farm scheme

American billionaire and new owner of Doonbeg golf club, Donald Trump, may not have left his wind farm troubles behind in Scotland.

A Clare firm has lodged plans for a nine-turbine wind farm with turbines higher than Dublin’s Spire only 4km from Mr Trump’s new resort property on Clare’s west coast.

If the plan proceeds, 23 local farmers will receive an annual income through rental payments for the wind farm site from West Coastal Wind Power Ltd.
