Killybegs and south-west Donegal could get a major economic boost next year with the return of the lucrative cruise ship business.
For several years, Killybegs was experiencing a rise in cruise ship visits and thousands of passengers were disembarking for a variety of excursions around the county.
However, Covid-19 led to a complete halt in cruises.

It is understood that up to 20 cruise ships could visit Killybegs next year.
