Seoirse Comerford owns the Comerford bar in Doonbeg. He described the tournament as “unbelievable”.<\/p>\n

“If you look at the red double decker buses going up and down the street full of people, we never thought we would have seen the like of that.”<\/p>\n

He said the golf course is a big employer and is keeping Doonbeg “alive”. <\/p>\n

“Most rural villages in west Clare are all dying a death, young people going away to college, they don’t come back.<\/p>\n

“Like there’s over 300 people employed up there at the golf course , it’s a big boost to the local economy. You’ve got big companies in Dublin, like Intel, the golf course is our Intel down here.<\/p>\n

“I probably wouldn’t have taken over the bar business other than the golf course being up there. <\/p>\n

“We would have had 1,000 plus through the pub on Saturday night and the same Friday night, so there’s a lot of people around the village, which is great to see.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
