In February, Clare County Council gave the planning green light for a new ballroom, but on condition that prior to work starting, Trump Doonbeg must submit a Vertigo Angustior Management Plan to the Council

Liam Madden has stated that An Coimiúsin Pleanála must refuse planning permission for a number of reasons.

However, before work can commence on the permanent ballroom structure that will have capacity for 320 persons, the Council requires Trump Doonbeg firm, TIGL Ireland Enterprises LTd to draw up a Management Plan for the protected snail, the 2mm Vertigo Angustior.

That is according to recently lodged planning documents with Clare County Council for the resort's planned ballroom that will have the capacity to accommodate 320 guests

General Manager of Trump Doonbeg, Joe Russell, said on Friday that the resort has recorded “the highest ever number in new membership sales” this month at the resort
