The annual Corncrake Conservation Project is up and running again. The number of corncrakes in Donegal was down last year, to just 67 calling birds. This year, more than ever, it is important that every bird is recorded and protected. Anyone who hears a corncrake is asked to ring the Corncrake Hotline on 074 9165117. Daniel Moloney is the fieldworker for Inishowen and he can be contacted on 085 7398411.

We are pleased to announce that the Cardiac First Response team is now active in the area. We are on call from the Ambulance Service from 7pm to 7am. In an emergency please call 999, Ambulance control will then decide if we are needed. They will then ask you if you would like us to attend. We would like to thank the community for your ongoing support.
