The Amharclann, an Irish language theatre, in Ghaoth Dobhair is to receive €30,000 from the Donegal County Council and Údarás na Gaeltachta.
The jointly funded scheme is expected to assist the theatre to deliver an array of exciting arts programmes and cultural events throughout the year.
Welcoming the news, Councillor John Sheamais Ó Fearraigh said: “I am so delighted by the confirmation which I’ve received today that both Donegal County Council and Údarás na Gaeltachta have agreed to provide joint funding worth some €30,000 to support the Irish Language theatre, Amharclann Ghaoth Dobhair.
