A new planning application for Doonbeg sea wall in Co Clare is to be reassessed by the Green Party.

Doonbeg is now seeking to install a modified proposal, involving protection measures at either end of the beach.

Green Party Leader Eamon Ryan TD said: "We're glad President-Elect Trump has abandoned his plan for a sea wall along the length of the Doonbeg dune system. Credit is due to everyone involved in the campaign against this plan, which would have done real damage to this special ecological area. We will be asking the same scientific experts who advised us on our own earlier objection to consider the new revised proposal. We want to protect the local jobs but believe this can best be done by adapting the golf course to the local environment rather than interfering in what is an active dune system."
