Donegal publishes latest for global community
By Noreen Bowden | November 13, 2009
Donegal County Council has published the latest edition of its wonderful newsletter, “Donegal – Community in touch”.
As usual, lots of great stuff! Included are reports on:
- The launch of “The Fid”, the Moville Emigrant Monument, commemorating the thousands of Irish who went to New Brunswick, as well as a schools programme linking schoolchildren in Moville and New Brunswick
- The MacGill summer school and a related publication
- The Letterkenny Chamber of Commerce and the School of Tourism at Letterkenny Institute of Technology
- the first-ever reunion of Falcarragh people from home and abroad
- a new social organisation called Go Irish Boston, comprised of Irish and Irish-American people
- the launch of Fado, a memoir by Irish-American musician Kevin O’Donnel, the child of Donegal immigrants.
There is much more here – it’s a great collection of news and resources that will be of interest to Donegal people at home and abroad. If only more counties would produce such resources – this is a model that would be very useful throughout Ireland.
Read the publication online on the Donegal County Council website.
