#BuyDonegal
Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council, Paul Canning, praised the #BuyDonegal campaign for helping “showcase the best of what Donegal has to offer.”
The 2025 #BuyDonegal initiative, launched in the lead-up to Christmas by Donegal County Council’s Economic Development Division, featured over 400 participating businesses, from handcrafted crafts and artisanal foods to cutting-edge tech and hospitality services.
A dynamic mix of online and in-store promotions, combined with engaging social media content and live events, captured the imagination of supporters near and far.

Cllr Canning said: “The #BuyDonegal campaign has successfully highlighted the exceptional talent, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant entrepreneurial spirit that make Donegal truly unique.
