Fintra Bridge - The Reality of the Project

The reality is that the Fintra Bridge project in its current form along with the proposed road upgrade are going to cost €5M-€8M, or a lot more than this if the road alignment is changed. The Council will not be able to afford this, unless the Minister Shane Ross (Independance Alliance) provides a special allocation to Donegal for the project. This is not big money in the context of his department's capital budget, however I understand that he has not provided this commitment to date, and its not clear if he will. I made this exact point clear when I was asked about this during the recent radio interview with the other candidates from South Donegal. I'm saying it again now. There seems to be a lot of confusion about this when there should not be. Either sufficient money is allocated by Share Ross or its not. All the other detail can be worked out afterwards. We are wasting our time otherwise. Its important to make that clear to the people of South Donegal.

Beautiful views of Killybegs port on this lovely sunny day.Great video footage by Mooney boats, one of the companies that can benefit greatly from an element in my 5 year plan.
To extent the pier and introduce a new advanced synchro lift will sustain jobs and bring new additional employment to the area.A new synchro lift will not just lift boats ,it will also lift marine engineering businesses to new heights.
Im working on a major plan at the moment to bring this to Killybegs and with your help and your votes this Friday 24th we can make this happen together. Thank you .

THE NEXT GENERATION SUPPORTING MY CAMPAIGN

John Boyle welcomes EU support for our hard working beef farmers. Mairead McGuinness MEP and my colleagues in Government worked had on this and have got the EU to agree to a €50M package to help our beef farmers due to the disruption caused to the beef market by Brexit. The Government has the option to top this up by another €50M, bringing the total to €100M, which our local farmers will benefit from. A big thank for you to all of those involved, and especially Mairead McGuinness who understands the needs of farmers and people living in the rural community.
