The Irish Herald reports:
A €14,000 spend by gardai on sandwich/snack bags for members was part of an overall €107,625 catering payment to the Donald Trump-owned Trump Doonbeg resort in west Clare. That is according to figures released by An Garda Siochana concerning its €11.3m overtime operation put in place to protect the US President during his two-night stay at Trump Doonbeg in June.
The figures, released in response to a new Freedom of Information request, show that the Trump Doonbeg resort catering bill was run up through a series of “marquee banquets” for gardai, where they consumed a variety of meals over five days at the resort. The bill for providing officers with sandwich/snack bags was €2,800 a day over the five days, while gardai also spent €875 on “additional teas and coffees due to inclement weather” on June 4.

That Ireland trip.
Trump has been planning a taxpayer-funded visit to his golf resort in Doonbeg. In recent weeks, the White House has been scrambling to find some “official” justification for it. Late Tuesday it announced a meeting with the Irish PM.
