Councillor Patrick McGowan has welcomed funding of almost €102,000 for minor flood relief works for Ballybofey.
Last year, Donegal County Council was refused planning permission by an Bord Pleanala for a larger flood relief project.
However, according to Cllr McGowan, the local authority is hoping this time a scaled down project will get the go-ahead. The government has today allocated funding to help progress the works.
