municipal district. |

Seamus O'Domhnaill congratulated all the groups on
the great work that they do in their own towns and
villages: “The work that you do is a credit to each
and every one of you and to the other volunteers in
your community. You are making a massive
contribution to your communities and you are keeping
Donegal cleaner, greener and much more
environmentally aware. I think we are winning the
battle and I would urge you all to keep up the good
work – the future is green.”
Michael McGarvey, Director of Water and Environment
with the Council said “the Tidy Towns initiative has
such a positive impact on the local community and we
are keen to support groups that instil such
positivity in their local community and their local
environment”. |
