Milford & District Resource Centre (MDRC) have announced the successful launch of the new Swilly-Mulroy mobility bus.
The event, held at The Gallowglass Community Centre, was a resounding success, with the hall filled with holiday cheer and community spirit.
The festive atmosphere was enhanced by the presence of Santa's magic elf, Decky Halls, and Santa himself, who brought joy to all the little ones. The community came in full force to celebrate this significant addition to local transport services while supporting The Swilly Mulroy Coast Guard and The Gallowglass Community Centre. Sincere thanks to everyone who supported this fun community event.

The Swilly Mulroy Mobility Bus, equipped with the latest accessibility features, will provide safe, reliable, and accessible transportation for individuals with disabilities and mobility challenges. This new bus will enable MDRC and Mevagh FRC to expand their services, ensuring that more individuals can access essential resources, healthcare, and social activities with ease and comfort.
“We are incredibly excited to see the Swilly Mulroy Mobility Bus in action,” said Declan Meehan, Manager at MDRC. “The support from our community has been overwhelming, and we are grateful to everyone who made this fantastic Festive Event possible.”
The acquisition of the Swilly Mulroy Mobility Bus was made possible through CLÁR funding, under The Department of Rural and Community Development. It also received funding from Donegal County Council through Sláintecare and the Healthy Ireland initiative. Also, donations from the Swilly-Mulroy Credit Union, MS Ireland, Druva, and Donegal Oil.
MDRC and Mevagh FRC are still calling for volunteer bus drivers to join their team. All you need is a standard Category B licence. Full training will be provided, and Garda vetting will be organised.
If interested, please contact Kirsty in MDRC at kirsty@mdrc.ie or call 0749153736. Thank you to everyone who attended the event and supported this initiative. Together, we are making a difference in our community. info@thisismilford.com (074) 915 3736
