Friends of the Irish Environment claims its opposition to a new ballroom at the US President's West Clare resort has "nothing to do with the owner". The environmental group is threatening to go to the High Court over plans for a single-storey ballroom and other enhancements at Trump International Golf Links and Hotel Doonbeg. The development was given the green light by Clare County Council in February but Friends of the Irish Environment are raising concerns around drainage plans as well as the presence of the Vertigo Angustior snail which is said to be in "terminal decline". FIE Director Tony Lowes insists their sole focus is on promises made on environmental measures that haven't been kept.

Jack Horgan-Jones and Ellen Coyne join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· The long-anticipated EU-Mercosur trade deal was provisionally approved on Friday, despite the opposition of Ireland, France and three other countries. The deal has been immensely unpopular in Irish political life for a long time, thanks largely to efforts by the farming lobby. But there is now a sense that some figures in the European Commission are disappointed the Government did not make the case for the economic upsides of the deal. · Taoiseach Micheál Martin was in China this week on a four-day visit. Trade was also high on the agenda there, with China eager to import more high-quality food from Ireland. Human rights were mentioned in passing, and there was condemnation by the Taoiseach of Nicolás Maduro's authoritarian regime in Venezuela, the irony seemingly lost on the Fianna Fáil leader given the country he was visiting.· And the Taoiseach's party colleague, Minister for Further and Higher Education James Lawless, wants to ditch the one-bed en suites as the Government looks to move towards a co-living model involving communal space for university accommodation. A bathroom of one's own is a luxury students can go without. Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· The Saipan film reopens old wounds for Kevin Kilbane, Seán Moncrieff can't throw away all those old electronic cables, and boycotting Doonbeg is the least we can do to oppose Donald Trump's appetite for war.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

St. Patrick's Day diplomacy, a shifting global order, and Trump whispering in Micheál Martin's ear; he's nursing more than a hangover with his front-row seat to the chaos economy of Trump's America. This week, we break down the Irish leader's White House shindig, the Doonbeg-ification of Irish diplomacy, and why Trump sees Ireland as a useful pawn in his battle with Europe. Meanwhile, Brexit is floundering, Germany is rearming, and Britain is quietly edging back toward the EU. Could Keir Starmer be the man to undo Brexit? And why does Trump's economic vision for America sound suspiciously like Ireland in the 1970s; low-wage, low-productivity, and stuck making three-in-one stereos? From the horse whisperer to the Trump whisperer, from NATO to Naas Road manufacturing, this one has it all. Join the gang! https://plus.acast.com/s/the-david-mcwilliams-podcast. Hosted on Acast.
