Local man withdraws from Presidential race Kevin Sharkey (57), who sought a nomination to run in the presidential election, has withdrawn from the race. Sharkey who was brought up in Killybegs had many different career paths along the way including a chef, a fisherman, an artist, a singer-songwriter and a TV presenter. In withdrawing from the presidential race he thanked the councils and
councillors who had promised him their votes and asked them to transfer their votes to the journalist Gemma O’Doherty. Kevin is now going to focus on his new collection of paintings with his exhibition ‘The Presidential Collection 2018’ opening on Friday evening at The Basement Gallery on South Frederick Street, Dublin.
Improvements to Donegal Town footpaths and paving to cost €46,000 Works expected to be completed by Christmas At the meeting of the Municipal District last week €46,031 was allocated to Donegal Town for repairs to the footpaths around the Diamond area and for localised paving repairs on the Diamond itself. Cllr Michael Naughton, Chair of the Municipal District, said that engineers had carried out surveys across the towns in the
District and the funding being allocated was directly related to this and focussed on areas of greatest need. Other towns in the District also received allocations from the three-year footpath repair programme - €21,795 for Killybegs; €8,020 for Mountcharles and €133,314 for Ballyshannon.
