Donegal County Council hosted a visit by US Embassy Delegates Lynne Gadkowski, Senior Political Advisor and Peter Glennon, Political Affairs on Monday 10 March.
This visit provided an opportunity for delegates to gain an insight into some of the innovative projects funded under the PEACE III Programme in Donegal, giving them a flavour of the peace building work accomplished locally and the impact that this work has had on local communities on both a cross border and cross community basis. The delegation visited the Tip O’Neill Monument in Buncrana, the Fort Dunree Military Museum, Inch Levels and the Regional Cultural Centre in Letterkenny.
Amongst those to officially welcome the Ambassador were Cllr. Ian Mc Garvey, County Mayor, Cllr. Dessie Larkin, Chairperson of the Donegal PEACE III Partnership and the County Manager, Mr. Seamus Neely and Mr. Michael O’ hEanaigh, Director of Community, Culture and Planning, Donegal County Council.
