Gardaí will not allow parking on Downings Beach this weekend
Vehicles will not be permitted to park on Downings beach over this bank holiday weekend.
An Garda Síochána Donegal have announced that access to park on the beach will not be granted in the “interests of safety.”
Parking will not be allowed from Friday to Monday inclusive.
Earlier this month, locals and holidaymakers were forced into an impromptu cleanup, and access to the beach and carpark was closed
With huge numbers of visitors in the area, one local at the time told DonegalLive there was “an absolutely horrendous mess left on the beach and locals are having to collect bottles and broken glass.”
Access to Downings beach and car park was blocked by gardaí at that time due to overcrowding.
