Looking their best for the Dubai
Duty Free Irish
Open
26.06.18
WITH just over one week
to go before thousands of golfing fans descend on
Ballyliffin for the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open,
communities right across the Inishowen peninsula
have been working hard to get their towns and
villages looking their very best for this special
event.
Newly elected Cathaoirleach of Inishowen Municipal
District Cllr Martin Farren has seen first hand the
tremendous work that is being done by people all
across the peninsula saying: “This is a very exciting
time for everyone in Inishowen and this is a once in
a lifetime opportunity for millions of people across
the globe to see our beautiful corner of the world”.
Over 80 applications have been received for Dubai
Duty Free Irish Open Best Dressed Shopfront
competition where the lucky winners will win €1,500
and have the opportunity to be treated to full
corporate hospitality in the Dubai Duty Free’s own
private pavilion on the 18th green at Ballyliffin
Golf Club on Thursday 5th July. |

The response to this
competition has been phenomenal so much so that the
organisers have extended the entry deadline to
Wednesday 27 June at 12 noon. So anyone looking to
enter this competition still has an opportunity to
do so, just email
ddfgolf@donegalcoco.ie .
Those driving through Inishowen over the last week
will not have missed the gigantic golf balls located
at specific locations around the peninsula including
the mini green at the entrance to Buncrana. |

With up to 100,000 visitors expected in Ballyliffin
for the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open, An Garda
Síochána is advising local residents to consider any
impending travel plans they may have scheduled from
the 4 - 8 July. They are asking motorists to expect
delays and leave plenty of time for journeys during
what is expected to be a very busy time on the
roads.
Lough Foyle ferry operators are putting on an
additional vessel over the course of the Irish Open
and this will see extra sailings from Magilligan to
Greencastle over the course of the event. |
