Trump golf course right-of-way dispute resolved

A dispute over a public right of way at a golf course in Co Clare owned by a company of US presidential candidate Donald Trump has been resolved, the Supreme Court has heard.

Trump International Golf Links (TIGL) bought Doonbeg Golf Course and Hotel in 2014 when it went into receivership. Prior to this, local James McNulty had brought a legal challenge to a decision of Clare County Council to extinguish a right of way through the course to the beach.

It arose when Clare county councillors voted 22 to three in September 2009 to extinguish the right of way, ending the public’s ability to walk across the fourth and 14th fairways.
