US President Donald Trump’s son Eric is visiting Clare this week, Tuesday 20th Jan and Wednesday 21st Jan, as plans move forward for a major new ballroom development at the Trump International Golf Links in Doonbeg.
The proposed project, which is currently before Clare County Council, is being billed by the Trump Organisation as a significant economic boost for West Clare.
Public submissions on the proposal close on the 2nd of February.
To discuss what this visit means for Doonbeg and what locals hope will come from it, Alan Morrissey was joined by Doonbeg Fianna Fáil councillor Rita McInerney and local resident Willie Hanrahan.
