The work at the pier, which cost €4.6 million, has been ongoing since last June and the efficient manner with which it was conducted has been welcomed with the project completed well in advance of the forthcoming tourism season. The work was carried out by Cunningham Civil & Marine from Co. Mayo in conjunction with Donegal County Council. Local area Cllr Pauric McGarvey and Marine Engineer Cathal Sweeney would like to thank the people of Rathmullan for their cooperation and support during the works to upgrade this vital piece of infrastructure for the area. Cllr McGarvey said despite beginning the work at the start of last year’s tourism season, the cooperation and support of the community was vital with no objections of any kind raised. He added that Cunningham Civil & Marine staff became involved with the local community over recent months including assisting the Tidy town committee and their contribution was greatly appreciated.
