THE TOTAL COST of repairs to Donegal’s roads infrastructure in the wake of last month’s catastrophic flooding will be around €15.3 million, according to Donegal County Council.
The vast majority of this money – €13.45 million – will go towards the repair of roads in Inishowen, which was worst hit by the flooding.
In total, 59 homes have registered as being displaced by floods. The council said that “solutions” had been found for 31 families thus far.
While a total of 600 issues had been identified on the 1,500km road network in Inishowen, the council is currently working on priority regional routes to reopen them as soon as possible.
It is expected that the R244 at Craignahorna on the mountain road between Buncrana and Cardonagh will not reopen for another four weeks.
The R240 at Riverside between Quigley’s Point and Carndonagh is now open to single lane traffic, while the R238 at Three Trees between Muff and Quigley’s Point has now reopened to two-way traffic.
For those families affected, many of the solutions found have involved the arrangement of alternative accommodation.
“A number of cases do not require action at this time and the council continues to work with all displaced households on a case-by-case basis to address their housing needs,” Donegal County Council said.
Furthermore, 115 bridges have suffered flood damage and a quarter of them may need to be replaced.
It may take six to 12 months to arrange permanent replacements, the council said.
Speaking to TheJournal.ie, local councillor Martin McDermott said: “A lot of people have just realised the extent of the damage that some people have. There are a lot of main roads that have to be reopened. It’ll be another month to six weeks before they are.
As for the families who’ve been forced out of their homes, it could be till Christmas before they get back into them.

So did they win or what?
Fair play to her, my partner gave birth and I couldn’t go to work for a week….
Our bodies were evolved to reproduce from our teenage years onwards, not in our late 30′s and 40′s, it’s one of the reasons C sections are so common now
walk it off and get back in tbe game
“Teenager gives birth to baby in gym toilet and returns to volleyball game”.
This is why China will take over the world. As a nation they exemplify a “can do” attitude and simply refuse to let anything prevent them from “finishing the job”, including in this case, childbirth.
Irish women could learn something from that girls attitude.
She returned to the game because she was terrified of being found out. The poor girl had no one to turn to in a country that is still caught in the dark ages when it comes to women having children outside of marriage. The girl needs sympathy and not smart comments from the male chauvinist brigade.
Tadhg, come back to us when you’ve had a baby. We might take your last line seriously then.
Me ma gave birth to me at 12 and she was home by 5 to cook the dinner, women now a days drag it out with 6 months off work..
She was very young to have a bonny baby, Alfie!
Must have been tough on your ma having a baby when she was only 12
And we even get pain relief ; )
Like a boss
HACK ATM AND BECOME RICH TODAY!!!!
Hello everyone. There is a new way of making cash, although it is illegal but also a smart and easy way of living big. I used to be a barrack girl until i became eager and decided to change my life one way or the other. I got opportunity to register for the militant amnesty through connection thereby taking me out of the country for training in the United States for a period of 3years. To cut the story short, during my training i made some white friends who were geeks and also experts at ATM repairs, programming and execution who taught me various tips and tricks about breaking into an ATM. with my knowledge gained from my white geek friends, i have been able to counterfeit and programme a blank ATM card using various tools and software’s. I have ready-made programmed ATM cards; I am just 29, my family are in USA and i have cash, i have a car, i live in malaysia and i travel all around the world. i do my things on a low-key to avoid suspicion. Some of you will wonder why i am selling this out if truly i am already living large. It is because it is hard task doing it yourself, i wont lie to you, its not easy to hack ATM talk more of to reprogramme the card alone and be able to get 40,000 Kuwaiti dinar each day. It takes days and sometimes weeks. Some of you will want the ready made card to avoid the stress of doing it yourself and i don’t give the ready made card out for free because i spent days trying to make it available for you. on yahoomail, (luciafernando222@gmail.com) for request of the ATM NOTE: the ATM card has no pin, no registered account number. It has no limit for withdrawal and it is untraceable.(luciafernando222@gmail.com)
Well you just killed that thread
This one takes a bit of timing, and a lot of patience: as soon as you see the signs, get your child to the potty/toilet as quickly as you can (you might need to lift them up and run!), and put them on the toilet seat. Sit with him reading or with an iPad or whatever until he goes. Huge applause and reward. Repeat until the connection is made. I have found some good pottytrainingapp http://www.pottytrainingapp.com from searching google. You may try this apps for become a special potty trainer for your childs. Thanks.
have your say
