The proposed Greenway project between Donegal Town and Ballybofey could be a "game changer" for tourism in the area.

That was the message from Donegal Municipal District cathaoirleach, Cllr Niamh Kennedy this week as she encouraged the public to go along to two public consultation sessions next week and offer their thoughts on the proposed development.

She added the project could be a "game changer" in terms of it being a valuable tourist attraction.

"It is very important people come out to the two public consultations sessions in both towns next Wednesday, February 22 between 12 noon and 8pm in the Abbey Hotel, The Diamond, Donegal Town and again on Thursday, February 23 between the same times in Jackson's Hotel, Glenfin Street, Ballybofey."
