Show me the way to Mamore...  22.10.09

INISHOWEN councillor, Pádraig MacLochlainn has welcomed a new network of tourism signposts at Clonmany, Urris and Desertegney.
He said the signs would help tourists locate attractions such as Mamore Gap, Glen waterfall, Leenan Pier and Dunree Fort.
Cllr MacLochlainn said the new signage would also help pinpoint the Inishowen 100 and local town lands.
“The erection of these signs is a very important contribution to the tourism product of Clonmany, Urris and Desertegney. The tourism product in this area allied with the remarkable tourism base of Ballyliffin and Doagh Famine Village, only short journeys away, are crucial to Inishowen," he said.
The Buncrana-based councillor has been working in partnership with local community activists and senior council roads engineers to improve signage in the area.
“Local community activists had rightly complained that signposting in the area was totally inadequate for tourists visiting the area.
"I then took senior engineer, Stephen Flynn, around the area to see the problem for himself.

I have to say that I am delighted with the professional approach of Stephen and his fellow engineer, Trevor Gordon, to addressing this problem and the new network will really be of immense assistance," he added.
