Plans for a ballroom at Trump’s golf resort in Doonbeg, Ireland, have been approved, with a condition that rare snails in the area must be protected.

The Irish government has not been informed if former US President Donald Trump intends to travel to Ireland for the Irish Open at his Doonbeg golf resort this year, though the Sports Minister expects him to visit at some point.

Planning permission has been conditionally granted by Clare County Council for the construction of what is described as 'the nicest ballroom in the country' at Trump International Golf Links and Hotel in Doonbeg, Ireland.
