Councillor Molloy is pleased to announce that Donegal Co Council in conjunction with Awake Tourism secured the Bog Road and Magumna Road was resurfaced last year. This is under Community Involvement Scheme where the Community group, in this case Awake Tourism, make a contribution of 30% towards the works. Most would agree these two projects have been a huge benefit to the Community. Councillor Molloy is now glad to have secured another Community Involvement Scheme in conjunction with the Council and Awake Tourism for two further roads: Kentucky from the Creamery to O’Sheas €38,500 and Woodhill from McGraths to the Forge €55,568. These are all County Council registered roads hence the Scheme works. Councillor Molloy is working on trying to secure LIS Scheme Projects for a number of roads not on the Council registered list (private roads with minimum of 3 land owners) but is very annoyed about the small amount of funds being available as he is inundated with requests.
