The Fota Island Golf Resort, Cork.

Now NAMA is selling the resort, which hosted the 2001 and 2002 Irish Open tournaments. It can be bought in two lots or in its entirety. One of the lots includes the hotel, formerly known as Fota Island Sheraton, along with its three golf courses and the leisure centre which could fetch €15m. The other lot consists of the 59 unsold lodges which are expected to sell for about €5m to one buyer.

Last night Mitt Romney and Donald Trump appeared together at a fundraising event in Las Vegas. It was somewhat overshadowed by this earlier exchange between the billionaire and CNN’s Wolf Blitzer.

Blitzer presented Trump with newspaper announcements of Obama’s birth from 1961.
Trump interrupted, “Can you stop defending Obama?”
“Donald, you’re beginning to sound a little ridiculous, I have to tell you,” Blitzer replied.
“You are, Wolf,” Trump fired back. “Let me tell you something, I think you sound ridiculous.”
Trump then alleged that the practice of filing U.S. birth announcements for an overseas birth was commonplace, though he offered no evidence.

Oh, wait now…

WASTE COMPANY Greyhound has been ordered to remove almost 3,000 tonnes of its waste that was being illegally stored on a farm in Co Kildare.

The company, which took over Dublin City Council’s domestic waste collection service last January, had been using the farm near Nurney to stockpile accumulated waste.

The firm’s waste had been processed and bailed before storage. It was left sitting on hard stands outdoors on the farm, which was not licensed or permitted for the storage of waste, according to Kildare County Council.
