WE DID IT! Trump lands for West Clare golfing holiday by Páraic McMahon paraic@clareecho.ie
DONALD TRUMP has landed in Doonbeg for a two day visit. On Wednesday evening, the former US President arrived in Shannon Airport on the family’s private jet known as Trump Force One. Trump is expected to partake in a round of golf at his five star Doonbeg resort on Thursday, a place he has referred to as among the greatest golf resorts in the world. Since 2014, the Trump family have owned the property in West Clare which has an eighteen
hole links course which stretches across 400 acres, acquiring it for €15m. Cathaoirleach of the West Clare Municipal District, Cllr Shane Talty (FF) confirmed to The Clare Echo that the West Clare MD received no invite to welcome Trump to West Clare. Access to the hotel had not been blocked off prior to his arrival but checkpoints have popped up on roads to Doonbeg. FULL STORY pg 14 & 15
