Hundreds of people from all over Donegal took part last weekend in the 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 on Saturday (6 April) as part of the Inishowen Community Clean-up initiative while the St. Johnston Community Clean up finishes today, April 13.
Inishowen councillor Rena Donahey praised locals for turning out, especially in Buncrana where she said it was the biggest since the event began.
Praising local volunteers in Buncrana, she said: “On the Big Inishowen Clean Up, I would just like to say it was an absolute a phenomenal success.
“It was probably the biggest turnout since we started the event a number of years ago. There must have been at least 60 people in Buncrana and I would like to congratulate them.
“It was a brilliant success and the amount of stuff they got was shocking,” she added.
“It was great to get it collected and I would like to thank the (Donegal County) Council because they really pushed the boat out (for the event).”
