National Development Plan Mid-Term Evaluation: Statements.

 

Donegal is in a unique position because it has 144 km. of border between Derry, Fermanagh and Tyrone, but we have been creating and sustaining our own funding on a cross-Border basis. We have received money under INTERREG as well as from the International Fund for Ireland, but we are not receiving our share of the national spend. The people of Donegal cannot rely solely on cross-Border funds. Those who want to create and sustain jobs cannot rely on Brussels. We want money collected in tax in the region returned and we are entitled to it. It is not too much to ask.
