Calls have been made for flights to an from Donegal Airport to be reinstated. The matter was raised by Independent Councillor Micheal Choilm Mac Giolla Easbuig at a recent sitting of the Glenties Municipal District.
The Rosses-based councillor said that flights to Glasgow are especially important in north west Donegal due to the rich heritage and culture that is shared with the Scottish city.
He put forward a motion that councillors from the Glenties Municipal District write to the Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan, currently assisted by Hildegarde Naughton TD, to ask that the former flights be reinstated.
He was supported in his motion by Fianna Fáil Councillor Noreen McGarvey. Both councillors asked that at least two flights a week be reintroduced to the Carrickfinn-based airport.
Cllr Mc Garvey suggested meeting with members of Donegal Airport and members of Údarás na Gaeltachta.
