Bomb squad called to Trump's Doonbeg resort hours after son Eric leaves
The suspicious powder envelope at the Trump Doonbeg resort was declared safe after intervention by An Garda Síochána and Defence Forces Explosive Ordnance Disposal team.
- A Garda spokeswoman said gardai responded late on Wednesday to a suspicious envelope at Trump International Golf Links & Hotel in Doonbeg, with the Irish Defence Forces EOD team called in; the package was later deemed safe.
- Gardai had been mounting a major security operation in the area for Eric Trump, 42, who made a private visit earlier this week before travelling to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
- A Garda spokeswoman later said the package was deemed safe and the cordon lifted, with searches including a specialist sniffer dog from Dublin finding nothing suspicious.
- The alarm mobilised local and national security resources — gardai, the Defence Forces, the Army and the fire brigade — at Trump International Golf Links & Hotel, which will host the Irish Golf Open September 9 to 13, 2026.
- The resort has previously faced security problems, including dug-up greens last year and prior searches after threats, while TIGL Ireland Enterprises Ltd seeks upgrades including a ballroom for 320 guests.
