Calls have been made for composting and disabled accessibility toilets to be installed at various locations across west Donegal. 

Glenties MD Councillors Micheál Choilm Mac Giolla Easbuig, Cllr Michael McClafferty and Anthony Molloy raised the issue, highlighting that toilet facilities are needed at Muckish Railway Walk, Falcarragh beach, Dunfanaghy beach, Arranmore and Assaranca Waterfall. The facilities needed are a combination of eco-toilets and disabled accessibility toilets.  

Cllr Mac Giolla Easbuig also called for regular cleaning facilities to be put in place. “The toilets at the beaches are dirty, especially during summer. There is nobody there to clean them and it's not good enough.

“We need people employed to clean them, that's our wish, to represent the community. We need basic facilities; we need to get this right.”
