Emergency services were called to a security incident at a golf club belonging to Donald Trump shortly after his son departed earlier today. The Defence Forces’ Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team, also known as the bomb squad, was dispatched to the Trump International Golf Links & Hotel in Doonbeg, County Clare, Ireland, in response to a suspicious envelope containing a powdery substance. The event occurred after Eric Trump, a 42-year-old businessman, had left for Davos, Switzerland, to participate in the World Economic Forum (WEF).
Both Donald Trump and Eric Trump are presently in Davos, Switzerland, attending the World Economic Forum under the theme “A Spirit of Dialogue” from January 19 to January 23.
This five-star hotel had previously faced a bomb threat, leading to a police inquiry. Despite the security alert, the hotel remained open for the winter season. Authorities, including a specialized sniffer dog from Dublin, conducted a search at the site but found no suspicious items.
A spokesperson for the Defence Forces declined to provide details as the operation was ongoing. Meanwhile, the Garda confirmed an ongoing incident in west Clare without specifically identifying Doonbeg, although sources confirmed the location as Mr. Trump’s hotel complex. The Garda spokesperson stated that no further comments would be made at that time.
Eric Trump had stayed at the hotel the night before flying to Davos. Earlier that day, he shared an aerial view of the Doonbeg site, where the Irish Golf Open is scheduled to take place from September 9 to 13 this year.
According to reports, the security alert was triggered by the delivery of a suspicious envelope to the site. Emergency services swiftly responded to the Trump International Golf Links & Hotel in Doonbeg, County Clare, Ireland, which is under the ownership of Donald Trump.
