German Trump admirer released on Probation Bond after trespass charge at Doonbeg

Dunja Habbal, a 26-year-old German woman from Weinham, was arrested by Gardaí at the Trump Doonbeg resort in Co Clare on Friday 11 September 2026 after she did not realise she required a ticket for the Amgen Irish Open. She was charged with trespass and with possessing a pair of black handled scissors under the Firearms and Offensive Weapons Act, 1990, which she said were being used to cut out pictures of President Trump for a scrapbook. At a special sitting of Ennis District Court on Saturday evening, Judge Adrian Harris struck out the weapons charge and found the facts proven on trespass but did not convict her, releasing her on a Probation Bond with a condition to stay away from Doonbeg. A flight was booked out of Dublin airport on Friday 18 September for her return to Germany.
