  • Letterkenny Brochure
    COUNTY DONEGAL LETTERKENNY IRELAND County Donegal’s Gateway Town for Business, Commerce & Industry comhairle chontae dhún na ngall donegal county council Letterkenny - County Donegal’s Gateway Town for Business, Commerce & Industry Letterkenny Leitir Ceanainn - Gateway to the 21st Century Letterkenny, the commercial centre of Co. Donegal, is a modern vibrant town with a rich cultural heritage. As well as being County Donegal’s largest town, Letterkenny is also the largest town in the three Ulster counties within the Republic of Ireland, with a population last year of 19,588. Nationally, the figures show an increase in Ireland’s population density, with an average of 67 people living on every square kilometer – compared to 62 in the previous census of 2006. In 2002 under the auspices of the Irish Government’s National Spatial Strategy Letterkenny was designated a Linked Gateway along with the City of Derry. Originally a market town serving a wide agricultural hinterland, Letterkenny has evolved to become a modern centre for industry and enterprise. The town has a long track record of adaptability. Expanding from a market town, it made use of its location on the shores of Lough Swilly to become a thriving port during the 19th Century. In the latter part of the 19th and early part of the 20th Century the railway age impacted on Letterkenny, connecting it with outlying towns in North and West Donegal. Despite the closure of the railway in the 1950’s, improving road communications ensured that Letterkenny stayed at the centre of the economic development of Co. Donegal. Letterkenny provided a setting for new industries and service sector enterprises when the traditional industries of agriculture and textiles declined.

  • Cultural Services Annual Review 2010
    Contents Library Service 2 Arts Service 6 Archives Service 10 Museum Service 12 Public Art 15 Heritage Office 18 Regional Cultural Centre 22 Cultural Services Division Personnel 26 Foreword onegal County Council takes a proactive approach to the provision of cultural services in the county. DThis document highlights a number of events and achievements of the Council’s Cultural Services Division from 2010, which show the huge diversity and the exceptional quality of the various programmes, whether this be through the Library Service, the Arts (County Arts , Regional Cultural Centre, Public Art) or Heritage (Museum, Archives, Heritage). The Elected Members of Donegal County Council recognise the importance of culture as a resource for County Donegal and seek to provide support for this key sector annually. It is our aim that the Council will continue to deliver high quality cultural services as one of its core services. The 5 goals of the Cultural Services Division are (i) to improve access to, and increase participation in cultural activities in County Donegal, (ii) to maintain and develop a high quality service, (iii) to promote and develop the educational value of culture, (iv) to promote excellence and innovation, and (v) to promote the importance of culture and preserve cultural inheritance. While these are high-level goals, they translate into a range of cultural experiences available to the community across the county. Each experience can contribute to the short, medium and long-term development of the individual, particularly of children and young people, but also for adults. These experiences are provided for your enjoyment, information and education and I encourage you to take up the opportunities provided.
