#CoastalNotes - Billionaire businessman Donald Trump is the new owner of the Doonbeg Lodge and Golf Club on the Clare coast, as RTÉ News reports.

The €15 million purchase - snapped up after it went into receivership last month - will see the coastal golfing resort renamed Trump International Golf Links, Ireland as it joins the fold of The Apprentice host's international property portfolio.

"Doonbeg is an already terrific property that we will make even better," said Trump in a statement. "It will be soon be an unparalleled resort destination with the highest standards of luxury."
