The Sticky of Sticky's.
In an attempt to make boards.ie More Mobile Friendly, the mod's have be asked to reduce the number of threads that are "sticky" to a minimum. So Muffler and me have decided to sticky this thread and leave links to all the threads that are currently sticky (that's a lot of sticky's in the one paragraph) so they don't get…

Businesses OPENING/REOPENING around the county.
So the 'Businesses closing' thread is starting to get a bit depressing, with all the doo and gloom of recession, and places closing as a result, so its always good to see a place opening, or reopening. So lets start off. Might have been open a month now, but only discovered it yesterday, dispite driving past it several…

The Curse of Defective Concrete (Mica, Pyrrhotite, etc.) in Donegal homes - Read Mod warning Post 1
Since this is primarily a Donegal issue (although some other counties may be affected in small numbers), it's good to see it finally get some national coverage. There has been a shockingly slow response to this major issue by the authorities. People's homes are worthless, can't be insured and are literally crumbling. A lot…

Finn Harps Thread
Thought this forum should have one :) With the strategic review completed and in place, some very promising young players on the books and the new stadium on the way there should be good times ahead for Harps. But with plenty of debt on the books and a now debt-free Derry City in the same division and with money to spend…

Starting a thread to help list all upcoming gigs & concerts happening in Donegal.

Smallest Shop in Ireland - in the Barnes's Gap
Came across this delightful card on eBay tonight (it can be yours for £29!) but a screen-grab will do me. Apart from the shop and its proprietor who must have been around before the flood, the card was used to enter "The Mystery Sound" competition on the legendary Gay Byrne radio show (1973-1998). I'd love to hear if…

Suspicious Car Park Encounter – Possible Scam Attempt
Posting this on behalf of my sister in case anyone has had a similar experience. Yesterday, she was in the Letterkenny Tesco car park, putting her groceries into the boot of her car. As she closed it, a man—who sounded Eastern European based on his accent—was suddenly standing very close behind her. The boot lightly…

Bus from Sligo, train from Dublin
I was trying to plan a trip from Dublin via Sligo using public transport and notice that the bus from Sligo to Donegal (and on to Derry) usually leaves Sligo about 5 mins before the train arrives from Dublin. How's that for joined up thinking? I know there is a bus from Dublin but I assume this kind of thing is very…

Heat pumps in council houses
Hi. I’m writing here to see if anyone else is having these issues and may know what can be done about it. Not sure how to even use this site yet as I created an account just to post this. We live in a council house and some months ago all the windows were replaced which was great. They keep the heat in amazingly. Here’s…
