Killygordon or Convoy in Co Donegal

What about socialising? Getting back to Convoy in the wee hours of Friday morning won't be easy.

Donegal Creameries are building additional student accomodation in Letterkenny-to compliment exsiting general development. There may be a scramble for accomodation at the start of every year, but everyone gets sorted out eventually. When I went to college in Galway, I don't remember anyone having to rent in places like Tuam or Loughrea.

If you feel that renting a house in Convoy to students attending LYIT is a runner I think you are kidding yourself.
 
In 2006 which County had the 5th highet amount of job losses?

Donegal

Dublin, Cork, Limerick and one other I can't remember beat it.

I almost invested in a new build in Letterkenny 3 years ago, but after doing much research decided against it.
 
With the recently announced government investment that's going to the north isn't some of it going into better road links between Letterkenny and Derry?

May help bring private investment into Letterkenny and nearby locations in Donegal.
 
The problem with Donegal at the end of the day is that it too far from everywhere. Ok, it is near Derry, but that's not a great asset to be honest. Only West Cork is harder to get to from the Dublin area, but West Cork has a good sized city on its doorstep, a city with an economy that isn't based on dole, grants and handouts!

Donegal is beautiful, and in my view well worth a trip anytime, but most people don't see it that way. If you live in the general Dublin area, and let's face it that is where the money is, you can be in Paris quicker that in Donegal if you want to take a break. Tourism will always be just a trickle in Donegal.

Industry has been moving out of the county of late too, the well-publicised drain of industry in the last few years has not been replaced by anything else. When people stop selling houses to each other in Donegal, there won't be an economy worth talking about.

Sadly, I wouldn't rate Donegal -- one of my favourite places -- as an investment destination.
 
"a city with an economy that isn't based on dole, grants and handouts!" What has this to do with Donegal?

Just the standard, ignorant, smug, uninformed view of Donegal by people who barely know where to find it on the map. A few fishermen get up to no good with grants/dole, etc, and the entire population of the county is at it. You'd never find spongers in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, of course.

Don't worry about it, the less people who are familar with the wonder of the place the more unspoilt it will remain.

The poster was referring to Derry (in the sort of fashion that could lead to this thread being closed). Keep it civil please.
