Moville Shorewalk to receive €200,000 for upgrade works

€200,000 has been awarded for the upgrade and enhancement of the Moville Shorewalk.

Half a million euro has been awarded for the long awaited Carrigart Downings Pathway.

Funding has today been approved for the construction of a combined 2.6 kilometre footpath and cycleway adjacent to the R248 on the Carrigart to Downings regional road.

Construction on the project is expected to begin in 2023.

The funding for the two Donegal projects have been granted under Embracing Ireland’s Outdoors – an ambitious and transformational National Outdoor Recreation Strategy.

Commenting, Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine and Donegal TD Charlie McConalogue said: "Outdoor recreation is so important to Donegal people and the investment announced today for Moville, Carrigart and Downings is important to those communities and will enhance the communities."
