Donegal Connect 2022 is well underway following yesterday’s official launch by Cathaoirleach Liam Blaney at the Castle Grove Country House.
Guests gathered to mark Donegal’s global connections and discover the plans for this year’s county-wide collaborative project. Donegal Connect aims to engage with the Donegal Diaspora to entice them to explore the county of Donegal and find out why it is a great place to visit, live, work, invest, study and do business in.
Donegal Connect, as part of the Global Irish Festival Series, will take place this weekend with events happening county-wide including the family-friendly Donegal Connect Carnival Event in Swan Park, Buncrana on Saturday afternoon from 4pm that is free.
The full schedule of events is available at: https://donegal.ie/donegalconnect
