Mitchell O’Connor presents award to Dun Laoghaire Golf Club

Fine Gael TD for Dun Laoghaire Mary Mitchell O’Connor says that those involved in the golf sector could look forward to rebuilding past years’ loss in club membership numbers, increasing operations’ revenue and overcoming difficulties presented in recent times. Deputy Mitchell O’Connor was speaking at the Golfers Guide to Ireland Awards where Dun Laoghaire and Royal Co. Down were presented the awards for ‘best parklands and links’.

“The economy is recovering. Those involved in the golf sector can look forward to rebuilding past years’ loss in club membership numbers, increasing operations’ revenue and overcoming difficulties presented in recent times. A report released by Fáilte Ireland in Jan 2014 revealed that 163,000 visitors played golf while here and accounted for €200 million in revenue.

“Dun Laoghaire will host the Curtis Cup in 2016 which will be an exciting time for the locality and will underline the importance of the golfing sector to Ireland’s continued attractiveness as a golfing destination.”
