In a recent joint interview with Bild and the Times of London, Trump spoke of his frustrations with EU bureaucracy and said he “couldn't care less about” his property in Doonbeg.
"I own a big property in Ireland, magnificent property called Doonbeg," Trump said.
"What happened is I went for an approval to do this massive, beautiful expansion - that was when I was a developer, now I couldn't care less about it… but I learnt a lot because… they were using environmental tricks to stop a project from being built. I found it to be a very unpleasant experience.
"To get the approvals from the EU would have taken years.
"I don't think that's good for a country like Ireland.
"So you know what I did? I said forget it, I'm not going to build it."
A second application made by the hotel to build a wall at the resort was lodged with Clare County Council just before Christmas. A decision is due on February 24.
