Senator Keaveney commented, “I raised the issue of Moville Green with Councillor Mc Donald recently. She informed me that the Donegal County Council is working in co operation with Strabane District Council to deliver the Heart Project and Moville is one of the participating towns. Cllr Mc Donald is also heavily involved in this project which aims to improve the local Moville area, by improving things like signage and shop fronts in the town.

Senator Keaveney continued: “A public art piece is being commissioned for the end of the pier and this will be installed toward the end of the year and it is hoped that a safety railing will also be installed in the coming weeks on the shore path. Discussions have also been held on the Green and it is intended to meet with other interested parties including local community members in the coming weeks to discuss options to improve this area and I would encourage all those interested to get involved,” concluded Senator Keaveney.

Speaking on the issue of Moville Green Cllr Mc Donald commented, “One of the aims for the Green is that the white wall would be built for the summer and that new benches would be installed before the end of July. I was very disillusioned after raising the issue of seating at yesterday’s Heart meeting as I was informed that only 11 seats would be provided and these wouldn’t be installed until the end of August, the end of the tourist season. I call on all those who use the green, both young and old, to respect the facilities that are put in place as seats are needed for people to use, not abuse”, said Councillor Mc Donald.
