The issue of flooding in Donegal Town has once again been raised, after funding has still not been granted for flood relief measures along the River Eske.
Councillors were told at the most recent meeting of the Donegal Municipal District that strong political intervention would be required to secure the funding for the area, which has been described as Donegal’s worst flooding blackspot.
Cllr Noel Jordan says that while the money required to put the flood relief measures in place will be significant, he feels that Donegal Town has been ignored once again…

A new support scheme for the inshore fisheries sector has been announced, to assist inshore fishermen in adjusting to the challenges of Brexit.
The scheme is set to run from March, and will be administered by Bord Iascaigh Mhara.
The scheme was announced by Donegal TD and Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine Charlie McConalogue
Announcing the Scheme, Minister McConalogue said: “The Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and the UK had significant negative impacts for our fishing industry. Our inshore fishers have been particularly and uniquely impacted by logistical and route to market difficulties as exporters of live shellfish and other highly perishable seafood products. These difficulties have added costs to the business model of our inshore fishers and in reducing the shelf life of these highly perishable products have impacted negatively on the sector.
“I am announcing today a forward looking support scheme to assist inshore fishers in adjusting their business model to the post Brexit market environment. The scheme will take the form of a suite of four online training modules to be made available by BIM, specifically tailored to the inshore fishing sector, with a payment to owners of inshore fishing vessels to assist them with the costs of undertaking the training and subsequently adjusting their business and marketing plans. The scheme will be open to owners of fishing vessels under 18 metres in length, registered in the polyvalent, polyvalent potting and specific segments. As recommended by the Seafood Task Force, these one-off payments will be €2,700 for owners of vessels under 8 metres in length and €4,000 for owners of vessels between 8 metres and 17.99 metres in length”.
