Brendan,

There’s been a lot of talk about that on Highland Radio recently, but to my knowledge there is no serious plans for this. There is no provision for an ice rink at the new leisure centre, for example. I think an Ice Rink would be a great addition to the town, but would probably not have a large enough market to support it. For example, the Jet Centre in Coleraine closed a few years ago, and there’s no Ice Rink in Dublin (excluding the temporary winter ones).

I’ve heard roumers that there are plans for an ice rink in letterkenny and was wondering if this were true? if so then it is a brilliant idea… lots of youth groups go on ice skating trips to don donold ice-bowl in belfast,and to the odisey in belfast, if there was one in letterkenny it would cut costs on the bus run a fair bit, prevent the change of euro to sterling, and would accomidate for ALL of donegal, derry and possibly some other counties outside of antrim!!!

Does the Letterkenny and environs town plan propose that the current town centre be extended towards the lands bounded by the pearse roa,port road and the swilly or does it suggest a complete degeneration of the current towns centre and the creation of the new town centre in this area?

we need marks and spencers, roches stores etc, and also streets – e.g o connell st , pearse st not rds like high rd, pearse rd etc.and more shopping centres not retail parks and new streets not just roads galore

Wow that looks great. I would love to see more public areas such as parks and walkways in and around letterkenny. What a great idea.
