Donald Trump firm seeks planning permission Doonbeg golf resort ‘wall’

Consultants acting for Donald Trump have warned that if the US billionaire doesn’t secure planning permission for a 200,000 tonne ‘wall’ of rock armour to protect his Doonbeg golf resort, the resort risks potential closure.

The stark warning is contained in new plans lodged by the resort with Clare Co Council for the 2.8km wall costing €10m on Doughmore beach at the golf resort.

Mr Trump’s Irish rock ‘wall’ is being put in place to prevent the golf course from being washed away by Atlantic storms.
