Green dug and Palestinian flags on Trump's Doonbeg Golf Course – The Irish Times

Gardaí examines criminal damage in the Golf Resort in Doonbeg, Co Clare, owned by US President Donald Trump, where a number of greens were excavated.

The Palestinian flags were also planted in the incident at Trump International Golf Links and Hotel, which took place late Tuesday.

Gardaí believes that at least three people were involved in vandalism, who coincided with the Taoisach meeting Mr. Trump in the White House in Washington on Wednesday to meet the annual events for St. Patrick's Day.

A spokesman for Trump Doonbeg said that they were working to fix the damage.

“This was a childish, criminal act, but the incredible team from Trump Doonbeg will make sure that it does not affect business,” she said. “We have the biggest course all over the world and are so proud of the enormous success and look forward to a great season from us.”

In response to inquiries from Irish Times, Garda headquarters confirmed that an incident had taken place, but did not name the Trump International Golf Links & Hotel in Doonbeg as a scene.

“Gardaí examines an incident of criminal damage on Wednesday, March 12, which took place in a business premises in West Clare,” it said.

Eyewitness shots have caught damage on the golf course in Donald Trump's hotel in Doonbeg, Co Clare.

“The examination of Gardaí appeals to witnesses that result in this incident. In particular, they appeal for everyone who were between around 5 p.m. and midnight in the West Clare area, and this can have video material, including the Dash cam. “

At the beginning of this month, the Turnberry Golf Resort of the US President in Scotland was destroyed by activists in response to the statements of the US President to Gaza.

Activists spray the clubhouse and wrote 'Gaza is not for sale' in three meters high letters on the lawn, and damage the Greens, including the most prestigious hole of the course, which was used in open championships.

The Palestine campaign described it as a “direct answer to the declared intention of the US administration to clean Gaza ethnically”.

The police in Scotland examined the incident that took place on March 8.
