Irish police are investigating after damage was caused to the course in Doonbeg, County Clare

A golf course owned by US President Donald Trump in the Republic of Ireland has been damaged by vandals.

Gardaí (Irish police) are investigating after what is described as “criminal damage” was caused to the Trump International Golf Links Ireland in Doonbeg, County Clare.

BBC News NI understands that the damage was confined to the course, and it included graffiti linked to the Israel-Gaza conflict in the Middle East.

The graffiti is believed to have been in support of Palestine and critical of the US president.

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses, and in particular those who were in the area from around teatime on Wednesday until midnight.
