A Co Kildare man has successfully sued the Co Clare hotel now owned by US president Donald Trump.

The father claimed his children appeared in promotional brochures for the The Lodge hotel and golf resort in Doonbeg.

Lawyers for the Celbridge family told the Circuit Civil Court in Dublin that the children had been photographed while playing at the venue in July 2011 - without their parents' permission.

Mr Trump bought the five-star property in 2014 for around €15m.

The Celbridge father accepted an offer of €5,000 compensation for each child after bringing legal proceedings.
