Phase II - Pollawaddy Slipway

Eamon O’Cúiv TD, Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs has approved a grant of €20,000 towards Phase II of the works at Pollawaddy Slipway, Arranmore.

Phase I of the works was completed in 2008 with the aid of grants costing
€40,000 funded equally by Roinn na Gaeltachta and Donegal County
Council.

Phase II will include the completion of slipway repairs and the
provision of carpark facilities at a cost of €40,000 funded equally
(€20,000) by Donegal County Council and Roinn na Gaeltachta.

This will bring the total investment to €80,000.

It is hoped that the works which will be carried out by Donegal County Council, will commence in late October.
