Inishowen goes wild
30.01.12
INISHOWEN TD Pádraig
MacLochlainn has welcomed confirmation that
Inishowen is to be included in Fáilte Ireland's
'Wild Atlantic Drive' tourism initiative.
The drive will include the entire county and will
incorporate the ‘Inishowen 100’, Letterkenny, the
Fanad and Rosguill peninsulas, and the drive down
west Donegal from Dunfanaghy to Sliabh Liag. Deputy
MacLochlainn had requested the inclusion of the
whole county in his representations.
"I am delighted to receive this important news. Our
tourism providers and promoters in North and West
Donegal have been working so hard to bring visitors
to the entire county and any suggestion that they
would be left out of the 'Wild Atlantic Drive' would
have been a body blow to them.
"With the news that the 2013 Fleadh is to come to
Derry, this has been a week of really good news for
our region and a vote of confidence in our
collective efforts." |

The 'Wild Atlantic
Drive' project manager, Paddy Matthews told Deputy
MacLochlainn that it had always been Fáilte
Ireland’s intention to include all of Donegal in the
route.
"With regard to Donegal, we are certainly looking to
include the best that this amazing coastline has to
offer, including the ‘Inishowen 100’, Letterkenny,
the Fanad and Rosguill peninsulas, and the drive
down west Donegal from Dunfanaghy to Sliabh Liag,"
Mr Matthews told him. |
