“The monies are going to cover the initial clean-up costs of the flood incurred by Donegal County Council in August,” said Minister McHugh. “Once again I want to thank council staff in our county who worked tirelessly in the days and weeks after the flood. As the lead agency facing into the disaster of the flood. council staff did tremendous work helping those affected across Inishowen. I also want to again thank the wonderful volunteers.”
