Planning permission given for major Donegal Town development

Planning permission given for major Donegal Town development
The developer behind a multi-million euro town centre development for Donegal Town is hopeful that work will begin on the project by the end of the year.

Michael Kelly has been granted planning permission by Donegal County Council for a mixed use town centre development on the Main Street carpark in Donegal Town which will consist of a substantial retail space, cafes, 52 apartments, office space, a three-screen cinema and more than 500 carparking spaces.

Mr Kelly said that if his company is given the green light to begin work in four weeks time, the project could be complete by the end of 2009 with up to 60 jobs being created during the construction phase.

Michael Kelly said the land was purchased by his company in July of 2005 from Donegal County Council and he hopes to work side by side with other developers in the area.
