US President Donald Trump has said he is considering travelling to Ireland later this year for the Irish Open, which will be held at his Doonbeg golf resort in Co Clare.
In a video message played at US Ambassador Geraldine Byrne Nason’s Independence Day celebrations in Dublin, Mr Trump said he hoped to attend the tournament and watch what he described as “Rory and all the great players”. He added: “I think I’m going to come over, and I’m going to see it.”
The Amgen Irish Open will take place at Trump International Golf Links Ireland in Doonbeg from September 9 to 13.
In the same message, Mr Trump also spoke about Irish-American ties, praising the long-standing relationship between the two countries.
Larry Donnelly, law lecturer at the University of Galway and political columnist with The Journal, joined us on The Agenda this morning to us some more about this.
