Donegal County Council, on Saturday, confirmed that part of the street would be closed 'in order to undertake necessary works in the interests of public health and safety'

Demolition works are underway on Letterkenny's Main Street, with the old Funland amusement arcade building no more.

In recent months, barriers have been in place to divert pedestrians around the building as far as the Market Square.

Donegal County Council, on Saturday, confirmed that part of the street would be closed "in order to undertake necessary works in the interests of public health and safety".

The junction of Rosemount Lane to Market Square has been shut from 5am this morning, Sunday, to 7am, tomorrow, Monday. Diversions are in place from Rosemount Lane to Pearse Road, Letterkenny for the duration of the works.

"Sad to see another piece of old Letterkenny come down but understandable as the building was unsafe," Letterkenny Cathedral Quarter posted.
