Doonbeg Residents Feel Restricted by Amgen Irish Open Security Measures
Residents in Doonbeg, West Clare, are expressing frustration over the security measures implemented during the recent Amgen Irish Open and Fáilte Fest community festival. The event, which took place from September 14 to 17, also coincided with a visit by US President Donald Trump.
The village was reportedly closed off due to barriers, Garda presence, and traffic restrictions, leaving some residents feeling that their community was overly restricted. 'Doonbeg's Fáilte Fest community festival and the visit of US President Donald Trump' is how one local described the situation.
Locals have complained about the impact on their daily lives, citing difficulties in accessing their homes and businesses due to the security measures. The Amgen Irish Open golf tournament was held at the Trump International Golf Links & Hotel Ireland course.
