Inishowen’s two summer ferry services are set to resume later this week, it has been confirmed, in a boost for tourism.

Donegal County Council says it’s “delighted to announce” that both the Lough Foyle ferry service linking Greencastle and Magilligan and the Lough Swilly ferry service linking Buncrana and Rathmullan will operate a full service from this Friday, May 30. 

Both ferries, which are heavily funded by the Council, will operate seven days per week over the coming months.
