Donegal County Council has completed construction work on a €200,000 project to build the new Tadhg Culbert car park in Letterkenny.

The car park is located on the site of the former Fire Station on the High Road in Letterkenny, next to the Donegal County Museum. It provides 39 new car parking spaces, including 5 disabled parking spaces.

The works included appropriate surveys, demolition and removal of the Former Fire Station and Tower, construction of a new retaining structure, and surfacing works by local company Churchill Quarries. Public lighting was also designed and supplied by Airtricity.
