  • Social Inclusion Week 2011
    Seachtain um Chuimsiú Sóisialta 2011 Social Inclusion Week 2011 Monday 19th - Saturday 24th September 2011 Event Guide Introduction It gives me great pleasure as Mayor of Donegal to introduce our annual Social Inclusion Week Programme. This week of events give us the opportunity to celebrate and showcase the very positive work that is being undertaken at a local level to combat poverty and social exclusion. It also gives us the opportunity to increase awareness and understanding of inclusion and diversity in Donegal. I wish every success to the week of events and would urge everyone to make use of the wide range of local services and facilities available and to become increasingly involved in your local community. I would like to thank the organisers and all the participants of Social Inclusion Week 2011 and hope that you will join in and celebrate this exciting programme of events. Cllr. Noel McBride, Mayor of Donegal I am delighted to introduce the Social Inclusion Week brochure 2011 and I would like to acknowledge and thank all participating agencies and organisations throughout the county. Social inclusion is about creating a society where everyone experiences full and equal participation in all aspects of life and Donegal County Council remains committed to sustaining and enhancing efforts to improve the quality of life of all residents in the county. I also warmly welcome the “Plain and Simple Style Writing Guide”, developed by the Social Inclusion Unit, aimed at improving how we communicate with our customers. I would urge everyone to get involved in the planned activities and to help make Social Inclusion Week 2011 a success.

    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.
