Plans by the Trump Doonbeg golf resort in west Clare to build a new ballroom have been halted after a sole objector from Longford lodged an appeal against the development. In his appeal against the planned ballroom, Mr Madden has urged An Coimiúsin Pleanála to “please refuse this nonsense”. Mr Madden stated that An Coimiúsin Pleanála must refuse planning permission for a number of reasons. As part of the permission, the council included a condition that before work commenced, the Trump Doonbeg firm, TIGL Ireland Enterprises Ltd would draw up a management plan for the vertigo angustior. In one of the 14 conditions attached to the permission, the council last month requested Trump Doonbeg to submit the plan to the council for approval.
