Ho-Ho-Help! Letterkenny locals are being asked to support a fundraiser to bring much-needed festive cheer to the town this Christmas.
Letterkenny Chamber is calling on the community to lend a helping hand with their Christmas lights shopping list.
They’ve made the list and are checking it twice… but a little extra help is needed to put up and maintain displays this year.
A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to raise funds to boost the €35,000 cost of the spectacles.

The appeal says: “The Chamber gets support from Donegal County Council and local businesses and it costs us over €35k to get the lights up and down, to replace any faults.
“So for the first time ever we are asking for your financial help.
“If you can make a donation, no matter how little, we promise to put it to good use.
“Over the last 5 years we have invested to add new features like the star on the Polestar Roundabout, the canopy at Market Square and lights for lower Main Street and Port Road features.
“With your help we look forward to lighting up Letterkenny for Christmas 2020.”
