Cllr Martin Harley is to raise the question of the situation pertaining to the development of the new Finn Harps football stadium in Stranorlar at today’s meeting of Donegal County Council in Lifford.
His motion calls on calling on the council to work with Finn Harps, the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, and the FAI towards the delivery and completion
of the Finn Harps stadium project in Stranorlar so as to secure the future
of League of Ireland soccer locally.
Speaking in advance Cllr Harley, a Fine Gael election candidate, said it was vital that they all got behind the club now and pushed for this much-needed development.
Cllr Harley has had a long term involvement with the club both as a supporter on the terraces and financially through his business, Harley’s Cheers bar in the town.
“I am confident my fellow councillors will rally in behind me and support this call. We cannot let an opportunity like the development of this stadium disappear. The involvement of the county council is vital,” he said.
