President Donald Trump’s construction challenges are piling up at home – and abroad – with the planned design of a 12,000 square-foot ballroom at his golf course in Ireland hitting a sluggish holdup from a local man.

The planned construction of the “nicest ballroom in the country,” according to the president’s son Eric Trump, was supposed to be the latest addition to the Trump International Golf Links & Hotel in Doonbeg, a small village of roughly 300 people in County Clare.

But Liam Madden, a man living in Longford with a penchant for appealing development projects around Ireland, is holding up construction by claiming the plans failed to comply with regulations, The Washington Post reported.

Madden asserts that helicopter landing areas at the resort were not considered in an environmental impact assessment – which could hurt the area’s protected snail species.

“I’ve caught them with their pants down,” Madden, 76, told the Washington Post in a July interview.

The challenge to Trump’s ballroom in Doonbeg comes at an ironic moment when the president is facing similar pushback to his 90,000 square-foot ballroom attached to the White House.

Unlike in the U.S., where federal judges have expressed concern about the construction but largely allowed it to continue, the Doonbeg ballroom is likely facing a drawn-out challenge.

The Independent has asked the Trump Organization for comment.

Last year, Eric Trump, the co-executive vice president of the Trump Organization, told the Sunday Independent that the ballroom would be “spectacular” and the nicest in all of Ireland.

“The design is the best you’ve ever seen. It’s really incredible, and I’m working on that very, very closely,” he said.

Most of Doonbeg’s residents appeared welcoming of the new ballroom, hoping it would bring tourism and economic prosperity to the area, locals told the Washington Post.

But Madden claims the planning documents failed to include two proposed helicopter landing pads, which were promoted in a marketing video, or measure their environmental impact.

Particularly, he argues, it could harm the population of the local protected snail.

The Vertigo angustior is a narrow-mouthed whorl snail that happens to reside in the marshy grasslands surrounding the golf course. When Trump bought the golf club property in 2014, he allegedly promised an environmentalist that he would “defend the snail.”

Tony Lowes, director of the Friends of the Irish Environment, a network of independent environmentalists, told Newsweek earlier this year that Trump has not held up his promise and the snail’s population is in “terminal decline.”

Madden’s appeal to the An Coimisiún Pleanála, the Irish planning appellate board, requests that they “refuse this nonsense,” referring to the proposed ballroom.

The Trump Organization has previously faced off against the snail – and Madden. In 2016, the Irish planning board sided with environmentalists and Madden when the Trumps tried to build a 1.7-mile rock barrier along the beach to protect the golf course from storm damage

But locals do not appear supportive of Madden’s latest appeal, with several telling the Washington Post they found it “totally unfair” and “disgraceful.”

But Madden told the newspaper he’s confident he will win.

“Joe Biden beat Donald Trump once,” Madden said. “I’ve beaten him twice.”
