Donore's Great Opportunity

Sinn Féin local election candidate in East Meath, Sinéad Burke, has urged residents of Donore to take the opportunity to make a submission to Meath County Council on the Local Area Plan.

She said, "The plan provides a great chance for the local community to get involved in the future development of the village. In my own submission I have highlighted the fantastic opportunity that exists in Donore to tap into the tourist potential of Newgrange and to highlight the special relationship the village has with the site.

“Future development in Donore must be in keeping with that of a hertitage town and should include the provision of appropriate infrastructure to and from the Newgrange site, including roads, lighting and importantly, signage. “Also, the special relationship between Newgrange and Donore should be further highlighted when deciding on new names for housing estates, roads and parks in the area.”
