Nominations are now open for this year’s Donegal Garda Youth Awards.
The annual awards, in association with Donegal’s Joint Policing Committee, celebrate outstanding young people from the county between the ages of 13 and 21 years.
An Garda Síochána in Donegal and the Joint Policing Committee recognise that young people throughout the County of Donegal have been involved in good and positive endeavours locally.
