A dispute over proposals for a golf course on a site designated a special area of conservation at Doonbeg, Co Clare, will be tried at the High Court on March 28th. An injunction has stopped all work on the development of the 18-hole course and on 80 holiday homes and a leisure centre at the site.
The order was granted to Mr Tony Lowes, a member of An Taisce, of Allihies, Co Cork, against the Irish National Golf Club Ltd, c/o Salthouse Lane, Ennis, Co Clare.
