Dungloe has been granted funding of an extra €20,000 to implement language plans.
Government Chief Whip and Minister of State for the Gaeltacht and Sport, Jack Chambers TD, will launch the Language Plan for the Gaeltacht Service Town of An Clochán Liath this evening in Ionad Teampall Chróine.
While in Donegal this week, he announced that the annual funding to be made available in future for the specific Gaeltacht Service Towns located in the Gaeltacht is being increased from €80,000 to €100,000 per year.
An additional fund worth €20,000 per year will now be available to help the towns implement their language plans.
This amounts to total funding of up to €700,000 per town over the lifetime of the seven-year language plans for three towns throughout the county, including Dungloe.
During his visit to County Donegal today, Minister of State Chambers is also getting an insight into Ulster-Scots culture and heritage in the east of the county by visiting the Monreagh Heritage Centre, Carrigans and the Ulster-Scots Agency offices, Raphoe.
