FINN Harps Football
Club have teamed up with Donegal County Council to
help promote road safety in the county. The club has
offered the Donegal Road Safety Working Group a free
advertising hoarding in Finn Park to raise awareness
about the dangers on our roads.
The road safety advertising hoarding will be
designed by a student from one of the county’s
national schools through an open art competition.
The competition was officially launched before
Monday’s meeting of Donegal County Council in
Lifford by Mayor Cora Harvey and Finn Harps players
Kevin McHugh and Packie Mailey.
Cllr Harvey said: “We are delighted with the
continued efforts of Finn Harps Football Club to
assist us promote greater awareness of the dangers
on our roads. This art competition will allow a
tremendous amount of road safety learning in the
schools and it will be a brilliant reward for the
winner to have their work displayed in Finn Park for
all to see.”
Entries must be original and the applicant’s own
work and should be on paper no bigger than A3 size.
Details are currently being sent to all national
schools in the county and the competition closes in
May.
Finn Harps Football in the Community officer John
Campbell added: “Road safety is something we feel
very strongly about and this competition offers the
club an opportunity to give something back to the
communities that support us. I am sure we will see
some great artwork submitted and I look forward to
seeing the winning design on the hoarding at Finn
Park.”
