Moville culture landmark under repair
16.02.09
COUNCILLOR Marian
McDonald has congratulated everyone working on the
repair of a cultural landmark on the Moville shore
green.
Moville's White Wall, described by Cllr McDonald as
a "local icon" collapsed last year due to the
expanding roots of nearby trees.
A engineer's survey of the wall highlighted its poor
state of repair and fears it would collapse
altogether. Repair work finally started on the wall
last week. |
"I am delighted to see
the repair work underway. The White Wall is an icon
of Moville as on view from Donaghey's Brae. Anyone
coming back on holidays feels at home once it is on
view.
"Thanks to the North East Inishowen Development
Company who have sponsored FÁS; Stephen Flynn,
Donegal County Council engineer; FÁS |

development officer
Michael Gillen and supervisor Liam Mc Dermott, the
wall is almost complete," said Cllr McDonald.
"I also would like to also say a big thank you to
overseer Pat McColgan and workers John Crumlish and
Hugh Canning on the repair of part of Moville Sli na
Slainte route. This popular route is a favourite of
young and old. "This collapsed recently owing to the
turbulent weather conditions, high seas and high
winds and following my representations, Donegal
County Council acted immediately. I'm delighted the
route is now safe once again”, concluded Cllr Mc
Donald. |
