Published 1 month ago
Description
The countdown is on to one of the biggest sporting events ever to come to West Clare.
Around 70,000 spectators are expected to attend the Irish Open at Trump International Golf Links in Doonbeg this September, and now US President Donald Trump has said he is thinking of travelling to Clare to attend the tournament and watch the world's top golfers, including Rory McIlroy.
What could that mean for the local community in Doonbeg, for tourism, and for the village itself?
To discuss it, Alan Morrissey was joined by Doonbeg Fianna Fáil Councillor, Rita McInerney, and Tommy Comerford, Doonbeg community activist.
