Great to get out around Wardtown with Hugh John and @benjitrav . Another cracking day on the canvas for #sweenyforcouncil . Started off at Castle Farm meeting a lot of people there. Fantastic hospitality from the Patton Family ! Covered a lot of ground today on the outskirts of Ballyshannon . 16 days to go. Delighted with the warm reception I am getting. I have so much appreciation that many years of community work is being recognized on the doorsteps. 😎😎 #castleadventure #openfarm #wardtown #sunshine #sweenyforcouncil #LE2019 #loveballyshannon #donegal #wildatlanticway

Been busy painting these panels and I am delighted to get them installed at the Abbey Arts Centre in Ballyshannon. Bringing colour to Tirchonaill Street. The Centre was built in a 1930's Art Deco style so the paintings have a 1930"s feel too and has a nice Ballyshannon twist hidden here and there. Our colour scheme has attracted lots of positive comment recently and this adds more colour to the street. Hannigan painters did a great job on the building which is nearing completion of major refurbishment. Thanks to all at the Abbey... it was a pleasure to work with you on this. #ballyshannon #abbeyartscentre #barrysweeny #colour #paint #loveballyshannon #irelandsoldesttown #dracula #sweenyforcouncil #donegal #wildatlanticway #wildatlanticwaydonegal 😎

Memories of 10 years of the Ballyshannon Regeneration Group. The earlier days of the BRG. From it's beginnings in 2009 it was obvious that we had to improve the presentation of our town. Many clean up operations began tackling rubbish black spots and overgrown neglected spaces. Soon the changes became apparent and Ballyshannon began to look better! Since 2009 there have been 100's of clean up operations with 100's of people involved over the years. The "Clean-Ups" are a big part of what the BRG does and the town looks well for it. Still, however there is more work to be done on an ongoing basis. We are glad to have some Tús workers on board at present and would like to gather a few more volunteers to help out on a regular basis to tackle a few more of those lingering black spots! #ballyshannon #regeneration #ballyshannonregenerationgroup #brg #brgat10 #discoverballyshannon #loveballyshannon #irelandsoldesttown #donegal #ireland #tidytowns #sweeny4council
