We may complain that we don’t get enough tourists in Donegal but we ARE very popular with holiday-makers.

Donegal has been ranked the fifth most popular county for Irish people to stay and have a holiday in Ireland.

Kerry is the favourite destination for Irish people holidaying at home, with Galway and Cork in second and third place.

Some 26% selected the Kingdom as their favourite county for a break.

Galway scored 15.5% and Cork came in on 14.5%; Wexford was favourite with 8%, Donegal 7% and Clare 6%, followed by Mayo, Dublin, Waterford and Kilkenny.

When asked what they thought was the country’s least appealing county for a holiday, respondents said Leitrim was the least, followed by Laois and Dublin.

More than 1,700 people took part in the survey, carried out by MyHome.ie.
