Calls to find a permanent home for youth club in the Twin Towns

Putting forward a motion at the September meeting of the Stranorlar Municipal District (MD), Councillor Patrick McGowan called on the local authority to do what it can to identify and secure a suitable site or building for Planet Youth.

“This local youth club has been renting for many decades, and for the club to be secure for the next number of decades, they need a permanent place,” he said.

“If this means going to other agencies like Donegal ETB, then so be it”.
