jun3pmDonegal’s eight Oireachta’s members have been called on to unite and pressure the government to help the county’s struggling businesses.

Councillor Frank McBrearty made the call after being approached by a business man who pays 145 thousand euro per year in commercial and water rates while a second pays in excess of 100 thousand euro.

The Councillor says that businesses simply can’t cope and that government intervention is required and the county’s Dail members need to unite to ensure that happens.
