  • Home Life in Donegal



Over the last fifteen years or so, Donegal has experienced huge economic growth. This causes the population to swell and creates the need for more houses. For example, in 2004 Donegal County Council received almost 5,500 applications for houses.


The County Council and town planners are responsible for managing this new growth. A big part of their job is making sure the new houses look pleasing and are well built.
