BOSSES at US President Donald Trump’s Irish golf resort are tee-d off after vandals dug up greens.
Officials confirmed Trump International Golf Links and Hotel in Doonbeg, Co Clare, was targeted on Wednesday night.
Palestinian flags were also planted on the course in apparent act of protest.
Trump Doonbeg took aim at the vandals tonight, branding them “childish”.
A spokesperson for the resort raged: “This was a childish, criminal act but the incredible team at Trump Doonbeg will ensure it does not impact business.
“We have the greatest course in the world and are so proud of the tremendous success and we look forward to a great season ahead.”
The vandals struck at Trump Doonbeg on Wednesday evening just hours after the US President met with Taoiseach Micheal Martin in the White House as part of the St Patrick’s Day celebrations in Washington.
It is understood at least two greens on the golf course were dug up, with Palestinian flags also planted at the luxury property.
Cops confirmed a garda investigation is underway.
A garda spokesperson said: “Gardai are investigating an incident of criminal damage that occurred at a commercial premises in West Clare on Wednesday, 12th of March.
“Investigating Gardai are appealing for any witnesses to this incident to come forward. In particular, they are appealing to anyone who was in the west Clare area between approximately 5pm and midnight, and that may have video footage including dash-cam, to make this available to them.”
Trump’s Turnberry golf resort in Scotland was also recently vandalised by activists following the US president’s statements on Gaza.
Activists used red spray paint to deface the 800-acre resort’s clubhouse, while the words “Gaza Is Not For Sale” were painted in three-metre-high letters on its lawn, with greens also damaged.
Palestine Action described it as a “direct response to the US administration’s stated intent to ethnically cleanse Gaza”.
