The owners of Briney’s Bar in Clonmany are seeking planning permission to extend their public house in the village.

According to the planning application, Martin Harkin has applied to Donegal County Council to turn the adjacent retail unit, formerly Catriona’s Newsagents, into a new lounge area at the bar on Clonmany’s Main Street. 

Any submissions on the application may be made until July 7th. The planning application is currently at ‘pre-validation’ status with Donegal County Council and a decision is expected to be made on July 28th.
