Donegal County Council has been asked to explore options for a Halloween fireworks display in Letterkenny.
The idea was raised by 100% Redress Councillor Tomás Seán Devine, who said the suggestion is brought up regularly.
Cllr Devine acknowledged that the Letterkenny Chamber advised that a river is required to have such a display.
“We have the Swilly, maybe it’s not wide enough, but I do believe that when people travel to Strabane and Derry for these festivals, it’s something that we should look into,” said Cllr Devine.
Cllr Devine was seconded by Independent Cllr Michael McBride who commented that a Halloween festival would show that the council is supportive of local businesses.
“I think the Chamber would be supportive of it as well,” Cllr McBride said.
“It would bring people into the town, they would be spending money and supporting local businesses.”
A spokesperson for the Letterkenny-Milford Municipal District said that initial enquiries have been made with the Council’s Arts Services on the proposal and additional information is being sought from Emergency Services.
