this morning, Rita McInerney, owner of McInerney’s Shop in Doonbeg said locals have “become accustomed to these visits now.”“In 2019, he came as a president, but I think he’s now coming as a property owner. I believe he’s going to Scotland as well, so I think it’s very much a business visit.”Ms McInerney said people in Doonbeg are not focused on politics when it comes to Donald Trump.“From a business perspective, we work very well with The Trump Organisation.
“The project here in Doonbeg was started 25 years ago by the local community as a way to create employment.”“We have always said that once the conditions of engagement are met by any of the owners, we work with whoever is the property owner and have a great relationship with them.”As a former US president, Mr Trump is entitled to security and Gardaí protection during his visit.
