Tunneling magnate Tommy Gallagher has been named as the Donegal Association London Person of the Year.
The Ardara native, who has made a name for himself all over the world with his TG Tunnelling, was crowned at a ceremony last night at the Hilton Hotel, Wembley.
Described as a ‘modest gentleman’, Mr Gallagher has employed hundreds of Donegal men over the years.
Along with his wife Nora, he organises an annual charity golf match here and is behind a major development in Donegal town.
