The members of Clare County Council last night voted overwhelmingly to end a long-running dispute with Doonbeg golf club by extinguishing a contentious right of way. At the council’s adjourned September meeting, councillors voted 22 to three in favour of extinguishing the right of way.

The move ends the public’s ability to walk across the fourth and 14th fairways at the Greg Norman-designed Doonbeg golf course to Doughmore beach.
