Council urged to keep removal of gravel from Foyle on agenda


Donegal County Council has been requested to provide an urgent update on action being taken in relation to the removal of gravel from the River Foyle.

Donegal County Council has confirmed that the issue is a live enforcement case.
Councillor Gerry Crawford says the issue however, must remain on the council agenda:
