Plans to construct a new permanent ballroom at Donald Trump’s Trump Doonbeg golf resort in west Clare will have no impact on the tiny protected 2mm snail, the Vertigo Angustior.

That is according to recently lodged planning documents with Clare County Council for the resort's planned ballroom that will have the capacity to accommodate 320 guests.
