Donald Trump’s famous Doonbeg golf complex in Ireland has been the victim of vandalism. The act took place while the Irish Prime Minister was visiting Washington DC with the US President, to celebrate the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day.
The degradation of Donald Trump’s golf complex took place this Wednesday evening, March 12. Three ill-intentioned individuals entered the property, planted Palestinian flags and dug up 2 of the golf course’s greens.
A militant act of protest, reportedly in reaction to Trump’s recent decision to approve a nearly $3 billion arms sale to Israel.
A statement was immediately issued to the effect that the complex team was in the process of repairing the damage, so that it would have no impact on the smooth running of the facility.
As a reminder, this seaside golf course in County Clare offers a great golfing experience. It also boasts a remarkable hotel with breathtaking ocean views. Owned by Donald Trump, the course is often the subject of controversy due to its owner’s personality and the symbolism it represents.
An investigation is currently underway, and an appeal for witnesses has been launched in a bid to track down the vandals.
The event occurred on the very day that Taoiseach Michael Martin was on an official visit to Donald Trump. The Doonbeg complex had been discussed, and Trump had raised the idea of a visit there.
I will. I’ll get there one day. I hope, I hope soon. In fact, if we meet, it’ll be in Doonbeg. I’d love to, but I hope to be able to go. he declared
The arrival of Donald Trump is currently creating a climate of international geopolitical tension. The trade war that has begun, as well as the different directions taken by the American president, are therefore having an impact even on Irish territory.
Security at the complex is to be stepped up to prevent further damage.
