We were pleased to welcome Presidential nominee Catherine Connolly, who stopped off at DCIL today as part of her visit to Donegal.

During her time with us, Catherine had the opportunity to meet with some of our Leaders, board members and staff to learn more about the services DCIL provides in support of people with disabilities across the county.
