Thank You
Happy Christmas from everyone here at the Eye on Donegal. We would like to thank you, our readers, for your support and encouragement over the past ten months. We would also like to thank all the advertisers without whom it would not have been financially possible. A special thanks to our contributors and writers who helped make the magazine an interesting read every week. The Eye will not be published during January as the staff get a well‑deserved break! (Cavern Design Printing will be open as normal from Monday 7th January.)
Marie wins Credit Union Car Draw

Congratulations go to all winners, in particular to Marie Feely who won the car - a ‘Christmas red’ Skoda Fabia. In addition to the car, there were 107 cash prizes given out totalling €18,900.
