PEOPLE from all over
Inishowen are set to be out and about this weekend
taking part in community clean-ups as part of the
2019 Big Donegal Clean Up.
Groups in Buncrana, Carrowmenagh, Dunree, Moville,
Greencastle, Culdaff, Manorcunningham,
Newtowncunningham, Killea and Carrigans will be out
this Saturday (6 April) as part of the Inishowen
Community Clean Up initiative. The St. Johnston
Community Clean up will also take place for a week
from Monday 8th April to Saturday 13th April. Last
weekend clean-ups took place in Redcastle and
Manorcunningham. |

Cathaoirleach Cllr.
Seamus O’Domhnaill is delighted with the response to
this year’s Big Donegal Clean-up saying “it never
ceases to amaze me the sense of community we have
here in Donegal and this response simply reinforces
this for me. There is no way that the council would
have the resources to keep every road and public
area in the county clean, and that’s why the work
that these people do is so important.
These people are our unsung heroes and are the
backbone of our communities and they should be
highly commended for all the work they do. While
this work is very important from a tourism
perspective, it is about more than that. It is about
caring for our own environment and about the pride
we have in our own communities.”
Anyone who would like to take part in any of the
clean ups can find more information on times and
meeting points at
www.bit.ly/DonegalCleanUp .
There is still plenty of time to take part in the
Inishowen Community Clean Up by organising a clean-up in
your own area. All you have to do is call the
council on 074 91 53900 or call into to any council
office to register. Donegal County Council provides
bags, pickers and high vis vests and then collects
the rubbish from designated points at agreed times. |
