Donegal is already trending online in the first hours of #LoveDonegal day.
The annual campaign is back this Thursday to promote Donegal to millions across the world.
The Donegal County Council initiative calls on Donegal people to share why the county is a unique and amazing place to live, work, study, explore and invest in.
Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council, Cllr. Martin Harley is asking Donegal people everywhere to participate in this campaign saying ‘’I would call on the people of Donegal near and far to show their appreciation for our magnificent county on September 14th, and showcase to the world what our wonderful county means to them”
“The aim for this campaign is to encourage people to participate and engage from all corners of the world and spread the word to our diaspora, their networks and further afield about the many opportunities in Donegal. Ultimately, we want more people to visit, invest and relocate to Donegal highlighting the benefits we have with our growing local economy and superb quality of life.”
Garry Martin, Director of Economic Development with Donegal County Council explains the importance for this event for Donegal. “#LoveDonegal day is an important event in the calendar for the region as it gives everyone with a connection to Donegal an opportunity to enjoy, celebrate and love Donegal. We can share what makes Donegal special to us with families and friends in other regions throughout the globe (our world-wide Donegal family) and promote our county, and it’s amazing offering, to the widest possible global audience”
