US billionaire Donald Trump is the latest high-profile figure to have his say on IAG's takeover offer – in a letter to the Taoiseach he says the shares should be retained in order to protect businesses like his Doonbeg golf resort.
He also speaks of plans for a further multi-million dollar upgrade there, but indicates that he views connectivity through Shannon is vital going forward.
