Two Co Clare men, who are alleged to have breached personal undertakings to the High Court by driving vehicles across the Greg Norman-designed Doonbeg golf course, could go to jail.
The club was yesterday granted leave in the High Court to seek to attach and commit Mr Chris Carroll and Mr Simon O'Donnell for contempt of court.
Mr David Barneville, counsel for the club, told Mr Justice Vivian Lavin that Mr Carroll and Mr O'Donnell had driven vehicles across the course to access a local beach.
He said the club had earlier sought injunctions restraining them and four others from vehicular trespass on the course and the High Court had accepted personal undertakings from all six not to do so.
Mr Barneville said his clients would tell the court that Mr Carroll and Mr O'Donnell had breached their undertakings on a number of occasions.
He said the club would also be claiming that Mr Carroll and Mr O'Donnell, as well as co-defendants Mr Thomas Considine, Mr James O'Leary and Ms Sinead Carroll had also broken the spirit, if not the specific wording, of their undertakings.
Mr Barneville said the club had on several occasions attempted to erect gates in order to stop vehicles trespassing on the course.
But on each occasion the work had been physically interfered with, including the physical removal of gate posts.
A sub contractor engaged to carry out the work had been intimidated.
