Golfing : red herrings and the final countdown

Abstract

I heard on the grapevine that a decision will finally be taken on the protracted Tal-Virtu golf course on July 29. This is not tantamount to a public hearing, which was held last year. Horseplay can be suspected when one gets to know that the golf course applicant has submitted a new application for a golf course, even before his original application has been fully addressed. The site boundary for the new golf course application (2871/04) is a carbon copy of the original one (4179/99) with the exception of one field in the il-Bajjiet area close to Triq ta' Gianpula.
