DELEGATES from the US
Embassy visited Inishowen earlier this week to see
the impact of a number of local peace-building
projects.
Senior political advisor Lynne Gadkowski and
political affairs advisor Peter Glennon were guests
of Donegal County Council.
"This visit provided an opportunity for delegates to
gain an insight into some of the innovative projects
funded under the PEACE III Programme in Donegal,
giving them a flavour of the peace building work
accomplished locally and the impact that this work
has had on local communities on both a cross border
and cross community basis," said a council
spokesperson. |
