Trump invited to attend Irish High Court case
Summary
Former US President Donald Trump has been invited by the Irish environmental group Friends of the Irish Environment (FIE) to attend a High Court case concerning alleged sand trap fencing at his resort in Doonbeg, Co Clare. FIE has brought proceedings against the Trump International Golf Links & Hotel for constructing a fence at the base of the dunes using large wooden pallets and nylon mesh. The fence was removed after a warning letter from Clare County Council and a case under Section 160 of the Planning Acts, but FIE claims a network of fences remains along the top of the dunes and seeks court‑ordered removal. FIE's Director Tony Lowes wrote to Trump urging him to stay in Ireland until 15 May, when the case is due before the Irish High Court, and to attend the hearing in Dublin's Four Courts to learn about environmental concerns and conservation.
