Introducing Letterkenny
Donegal’s largest town is growing rapidly, and it has the traffic congestion to prove it. Letterkenny (Leitir Ceanainn) is undergoing great change as the local economy picks up, which is obviously great for most of its inhabitants. Expect even more growth in the years ahead if plans materialize for a new tech-oriented industrial development on Letterkenny’s outskirts.

The town is also enjoying a cultural upswing, particularly in the form of its esteemed theatre, and pubs and clubs buzz with students and young professionals. But the town’s energy, while novel to its inhabitants, won’t necessarily entice visitors. Most passers-through will be on their way to Donegal’s more alluring northern corners. Letterkenny is particularly relevant as a gateway to the remote Inishowen Peninsula. Travellers using public transport are likely to stop here for at least a short period.
