New news - this is a wall rather than a line of rocks from the news reports today
There has been a running battle between the owners of the club (established originally by Greg Norman) and local protesters since the very beginning (originally the intention was to make the shoreline for the exclusive use of golfers and hotel residents)

Anyone investing in any kind of shoreline infrastructure will take steps to protect their investment. Warmer temperatures = more energy in the atmosphere = more storm severity/possibly frequency. You can be certain any insurance company would determine their exposure to risk on the basis of such protective works as may be proposed or in place.
The only exceptions in the UK seem to be nuclear power stations. Their protection against storm surge or tsunami is minimal.(there are/were two on the River Severn and one on the estuary. It has one of the highest tidal ranges in the world and a recorded surge in excess of 3.5m and previous history, The great storm of 1703)

The Farmers view:

DONALD Trump may be a divisive figure but efforts must be made to protect the dunes of Doonbeg, while nearby farmlands remain “under threat” from flooding.

William Hanrahan, IFA county chairman, told the monthly meeting of Clare County Council that flood protection is a major issue for the county, with the IFA “intensively” lobbying the OPW and government departments for funding to complete outstanding works.

“In some areas, planning permission is required and IFA would urge Clare County Council to wholeheartedly support these projects, whether it is on the banks of the Shannon or the Atlantic coast,” he said.
He recalled that after the major storms of 2014, “vast areas of farmland were covered with water”.

“If they are covered for some time, the whole area turns black and production is non-existent.”
Mr Hanrahan said that the land at the back of the dunes at the Trump International Golf Links and Hotel Ireland in Doonbeg is “vulnerable”.

“It’s over sea level and if the dunes breach, they will be under threat.”
He said that opinions on Trump need to be “left to the side” and that efforts need to be made to protect local communities."

Actually if you bothered to follow the links I supplied you would find that the OPW, following EU directives, has recently published a report(2018)Flood Risk Management Plan for the Shannon Estuary North & Mal Bay River Basin (UOM27-28) Not 20 years old at all.

Furthermore:
"he primary objective of Government policy on coastal protection is to ensure that in areas identified as being at greatest risk of damage or loss of economic assets through coastal erosion or flooding, appropriate and sustainable measures are identified by Local Authorities to protect those assets. Where such measures are economically justified on cost benefit grounds and compatible with all required environmental and other statutory requirements, they are implemented subject to the availability of resources.

The Office of Public Works (OPW) has undertaken a national assessment of coastal erosion (including erosion rates) under the Irish Coastal Protection Strategy Study (ICPSS) and the results of this study have been published on the OPW website. The relevant reports and associated predictive erosion hazard mapping (to 2050) may be viewed at www.opw.ie.

As you are being particularly obtuse this morning I will spell it out to you. My links demonstrate that the Irish government, like many others, has commissioned studies to determine the risk posed by changing weather patterns to coastal/estuarine infrastructure. As a result of these continuously updated studies certain schemes have already been started to reduce flooding risk. Skibbereen is the only one of which I have firsthand knowledge. Even to you it must be obvious that settlements are first in line for protective works. Trump having invested an initial 8.7million euros to buy his golf course obviously does not want a storm to destroy his investment. The purchase occurred in 2014 and the initial planning applications not much later. Trump, like any other astute business man wishes to protect his investment. You are again allowing emotion to over ride commonsense. It is not a new seawall at all. It is a scheme that has been around for several years. It is not even controversial elsewhere!
St Andrews Golf club had to carry out emergency dune repairs after a blowout. The dunes were badly damaged back in March 2010 by high tides and strong North Easterly gales and a substantial amount of sand was lost.
Taking your nimby attitude of tree hugging nonsense to the ultimate absurdity everything would be fossilised and sterilized and allowed to revert to "nature" You can banquet on a view if you wish, I prefer to banquet on a steak and accept the landscape modification that allows this. This is the same reasoning that accepts that motorways are essential, as are new houses and fields preserved in order to grow food. I doubt there were sackfulls of little nimbies creating mayhem when all those fields adjacent to the golf course were created

Dunes are ephemeral and vulnerable features of the landscape. They are also dynamic. If you wish to prevent the dynamics impacting the operation of an adjacent golf course steps need to be taken. Had it been any other person requesting these remedial works I doubt it would have made headlines anywhere else.

As you are retired on a British pension I doubt you have the least concern for the employment opportunities put at risk by your resistance to the scheme.

"Your bullying is reminiscent of the clown you are attempting to offend"

By your own admission you are a bullying clown! Who am I to argue?

The point I am trying to get through your extremely thick head is that with an increased prevalence of high intensity storms all dune systems are liable to damage and coastal and estuarine settlements need to be constructing sea walls.(as some are already)
for example 2012:
"SEVERE STORMS in November and December last year eroded about 500 metres of a section of sand dunes at Strandhill, Co Sligo, according to a consultants’ report. It has recommended the provision of a ramp structure costing almost €300,000 to protect the dunes.

Specialist consultants RPS was commissioned by Sligo County Council after concern about the erosion of Strandhill’s extensive dune system. Local people say the golf course and village car park, as well as the beach, are threatened."


Where is your outrage about StAndrews Golf course carrying out remedual works on the Dune system, or Sligo council above. The only difference to a thinking person is the name Trump.


As I said previously you are making a fuss about a situation several years old and pretending it is new purely because Trump is involved.

Care to enlighten us about what false claims are made? I notice you have not supplied your recent sources, despite repeated requests.

As Teribus would rightly say: More made up Jom s****t!"

15th July 06.16 comment about a 'balloon with a pigs head at its crotch' - some mistake in the effigy surely, should that not be David Cameron?!

another thought about rising sea levels / climate change -- some sort of karma for DT being as how he doesn't believe in in the existence of such a thing (despite his approval of fracking, coal and iron industries etc)...and is his Florida place not about to be overwhelmed by the sea?
He already tampered with sand dunes, sites of special scientific interest and people's homes at Menie in Aberdeenshire - good on the Scottish government for standing up to his demands to cancel the offshore windfarm project that DT claimed would spoil his view.

and - I hate people quoting biblical references when probably a majority of us haven't a clue what they are - nor have a bible to look it up! So - I think any quotes should be written out in full for the benefit of the rest of us (or the people arguing should do it by private messages?)

All you have to do with a biblical reference is to put it in a search string. No need of a bible or interpretation.
Just like religion-All is provided!
I assume that as you apparently disapprove of Fracking, coal and iron industries etc, you would perhaps prefer to be clothed in skins and resident in a cave and leave all the trappings of modern life behind?
No vehicles, no agriculture, no electricity,no food.
A hell of a way to cure overpopulation but you have the consolation that results are guaranteed.

An interesting summary of dune processes and their vulnerabilities from further up the coast from Doonbeg golf course. Even in this Special Area of Conservation certain stabilization methods have been adopted
Fanore-Beach-and-Dune-Management-Report_2016 : Current Problems and Planning for the Future.

The arguments are neatly summarised below:
"Effectively, adopting a policy of no infrastructural protection works could result in a return to unacceptable rates of dune erosion and sand movements onto adjacent lands.
But,under future climate warming projections such erosion of the dunes, consequent sand blows movements and wider environmental changes are very likely to happen anyway to dunes such as these at Fanore due to SLR, storminess winds and climate change. So, why ‘spend money’ now trying to stop the inevitable?

Also another extract from the report:
" Certainly, a decision for no fencing or related dune protection actions would save money! This approach may, however, be politically and in current conservation policy terms, unacceptable.

Also note this is an area with no infrastructure to protect.

This does lead to the obvious question concerning Trump's golf course: Why is sauce for the goose not sauce for the gander?

You are not responding to what I have said as a local - you have done a screeching Uturn on your original statement and refuse to explain why
Now you are digging up irrelevant garbage to make up for your ignorance and your disgusting and continuing defence of a megalomaniac President
Go talk to someone else Iains (try Keith - he talks to anybody who will talk to him as long as they share his LB opinions)
We're finished here

Oh dear! You have obviously not read a word of the linked report, presumably because it had many words of more than two syllables. We are definitely finished here because you are undoubtedly unable to understand what is being said. Nothing new there eh jimmie?
Run along and find another thread to infect!

"We are definitely finished here "
I've already said that - stop behaving like a parrot
