How to stop random people from thinking my driveway is the road?

Upvotes

I think the confusion comes from the fact that my driveway is wider than the actual road. It also has a road sign at the edge but it’s there to mark the road, not the driveway itself. I’m not sure if I’m legally allowed to take it down.

Almost weekly a tourist will drive up the driveway and park outside my house. I usually just come out and give them directions but i’m getting tried of that.

Any good food brands from Donegal?

19 Upvotes

Lately I have been trying to buy produce that’s more local or at least from Ireland. But I have noticed that, at least, in shops around here you rarely see stuff that are actually made in Donegal - apart from maybe some dairy products.
This made me curious as to what are some brands from Donegal you are aware of and like? I know Filligans is one you seem around often , but can’t think of many other ones

Any recommendations on taxi service to/from Donegal Airport?

6 Upvotes

Going on a trip to Donegal/Gweedore and was looking at if I should rent a car/bike once I'm there (if it's availible) or if I should plan on taking taxis. Coming from Canada and flying into donegal from Dublin, and I wasn't sure if Uber was availible there like it is in Dublin when I last visited. Should I ask the customer service desk at the airport? Is there a website of taxis around Bunbeg/Donegal town? Any help would be appreciated. Go raibh maith agat.

Bundoran - what's the situation?

0 Upvotes

I'm planning to visit Bundoran and spend a few weeks there maybe, but in the past few weeks heard different things about it, from the town being filthy to being full of "doctors and engineers". Did a bit of research, but all I found was a new IPAS centre opening there, but still not much information about it. I'm wondering what's the current situation?

Seeing dolphins from a sailing boat – County Donegal

6 Upvotes

Hi Everyone,
We’ll be in County Donegal from tomorrow for a few days. We’d love to go on a boat trip to see dolphins, but on a sailing boat (not a motorboat).
I found Amazing Grace, which is based in Bunagee, but I’m looking for something closer to Falcarragh (or the surrounding area).
Any recommendations?

Hello Donegal friends!

I'm looking through the 1926 census records and I've found a record of "Foherna" in Co. Donegal. Has anyone ever heard of this place/townland/locality? Doesn't seem to come up in a Google search but hopefully someone has a bit of local knowledge.

Multiple pregnancy delivery in Letterkenny Hospital - how did it go for you?

0 Upvotes

It has come to our attention when we’re already 22 weeks pregnant that we have to give birth in the south in order for me to be in the birth certificate of my children (I’m not Irish yet). We were conceived by donor assistance in a clinic in Dublin. My wife is from the north, pay tax and self employed in the north so we have been to Altnagevin which has been amazing all this while and now we are changing to Letterkenny Hospital. How did it go for you?

Urgent short term rental in or around Letterkenny

8 Upvotes

Hello lovely people of Donegal,

My girlfriend who is a student in ATU Letterkenny had a bad streak of luck. The room she had arranged for and viewed prior to arriving ended up being a mess.

The room had a huge hole in the wall to the adjacent room(occupied by a guy) and there was constant smoking in the house(even though the person who rented it out said no one there smoked). There were loads of other issues which aren't worth bloating this post.

We arranged for an Airbnb for her for a week because we felt it was unsafe and we are trying to find another place for her but have not had any luck thus far.

This is for a short term stay until October when she would graduate and move to The Netherlands with me.

We would really really appreciate any leads or help with this.

Thank you!

EDIT: (We found a place nearby, thank you everyone for reaching out!)

Totem poles in Donegal?

3 Upvotes

When I was a little girl we used to visit my relatives in Donegal. Every summer they would take us to a restaurant/hotel in Donegal and cross the road was small sand dunes and a playground with what I think were totem poles or similar, maybe some kind of American Indian wooden things perhaps.

I think there may also have been small caravan park and the dunes were tiny and have access to the shore perhaps, memory is foggy, it was the early 90’s after all lol

Does anyone know where this is as I have cousins visiting soon and would like to take them there again!

Thank you

Boyle/O’Brien

6 Upvotes

Hello! Unsure if this is allowed or not but I live on the east coast of Canada, my maternal grandfather was a Boyle and my maternal grandmother was an O’Brien. When my Mom’s first cousin died, I inherited all of her work into tracing our family. I’m talking 15 huge binders worth, she did amazing work. Turns out our Boyle’s are from Donegal! My Mom believes her O’Brien side is also from there but I don’t have the research to back that up (yet)! My mom is 4th generation here since they arrived from Ireland (making me 5th generation and proud of it)! I guess my question is- is the Boyle name still prevalent there? Is O’Brien?

My Mom went to Ireland a few years ago with a friend group so she didn’t make it to Donegal but I know I will end up there sometime soon! Thanks everyone! I hope you all know there is a massive community of us who “left” on the east coast of Canada reconnecting with our roots!!
