Tiny snail may topple Donald Trump in barrier battle at Doonbeg
This follows Clare Co Council expressing concerns over the impact the 2.8km 200,000 tonne Trump rock barrier will have on the EU- protected vertigo angustior and sand dune system at Doonbeg golf resort.
The council was due to make a planning decision on the application yesterday, but in a blow to the project, the local authority has stated that it doesn’t have sufficient scientific evidence that would allow it conclude that the barrier would not adversely impact on the integrity of the EU designated Carrowmore Dunes — a special area of conservation at the site.
