Emergency responders are currently addressing a security concern at a golf club owned by Donald Trump in County Clare, Ireland. The Defence Forces’ Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team is en route to the Trump International Golf Links & Hotel in Doonbeg following the delivery of a suspicious powder-filled envelope to the premises.
The incident unfolded shortly after Eric Trump, a 42-year-old businessman and son of the U.S. President, departed for Davos, Switzerland, to participate in the World Economic Forum. This development comes after a prior bomb threat targeted the luxury hotel, prompting a police inquiry.
Despite the security alert, the hotel has not been evacuated and was closed for the winter season at the time of the incident. Authorities, including a specialized sniffer dog from Dublin, conducted a thorough search of the property but did not uncover any alarming items.
A spokeswoman for the Defence Forces refrained from providing details on the ongoing operation. Meanwhile, local police confirmed the situation in west Clare without specifically naming Doonbeg, although sources verified that the hotel complex belonging to Mr. Trump is involved.
Eric Trump had lodged at the hotel the previous night after his arrival in Dublin on Tuesday. The security scare arose from the delivery of an envelope suspected to contain a powdery substance, as reported by the Irish Mirror.
The Trump International Golf Links & Hotel in Doonbeg, County Clare, has triggered the response of emergency services. The property is under the ownership of Donald Trump.
