On Wednesday 7th August 2024, Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue TD, together with the Elected Members of the Glenties Municipal District turned the sod on Ailt an Chorráin (Burtonport) Harbour Redevelopment Phase 2 Regeneration Project.

This significant regeneration project is co-funded by Donegal County Council and the Department of Rural and Community Development under the Rural Regeneration & Development Fund, which is a flagship element of Project Ireland 2040.  The project is the result of collaboration with the local community, Donegal County Council and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.

The Ailt an Chorráin (Burtonport) Harbour Redevelopment - Phase 2 Regeneration Project forms part of the broader and linked multi-faceted integrated phased project known as the Ailt an Chorráin (Burtonport)/Árainn Mhór (Arranmore) ‘Harbour to Island’ Regeneration Project for the regeneration of Ailt an Chorráin (Burtonport) and Oileán Árainn Mhór (Arranmore Island).  Phase 1 transformed the harbour infrastructure and environment through the demolition and removal of under-utilised, redundant or vacant buildings, to a new multi-user public realm space with modern transport infrastructure, public amenities and services and parking and Phase 2 proposes a new Ferry Terminal Building and Enterprise Building that present as an important physical element of the overall project and provide a valuable opportunity to introduce regenerative physical development, a diversification of uses and quality architecture to the marine and harbour environment.

Dorrian Construction Ltd have been appointed by Donegal County Council to deliver Ailt an Chorrain (Burtonport) Harbour Redevelopment Phase 2 Regeneration Project which is scheduled for completion by Q4 2025

Design Team services on this project are being delivered by MH Associates.
