Now with Added Volume!
Dunkineely Community Ltd would like to say a big thank you to Donegal County Council for awarding us funds to buy a PA system.
DCL now runs several events across the year and with crowds of over 200 now attending (and getting bigger) it can be quite difficult to hear during the many attractions we offer.
This grant will help us make sure you get full enjoyment, not least at our upcoming Killaghtee
Festival on 23 rd to 25 th August.
