Moville's Quaypoint Monument

Cecilia Keveney, Moville Senator, has revealed that a statue proposed for Moville Pier will now be installed by the end of the year. Moville's Quaypoint monument is being crafted by Locky Morris, the Derry sculptor responsible for Letterkenny's iconic Polestar installation.

"The public art piece which is being commissioned for the end of the pier will be installed towards the end of the year and it is hoped that a safety railing will also be installed in the coming weeks on the shore path. Discussions have also been held on the Green and it is intended to meet with other interested parties including local community members in the coming weeks to discuss options to improve this area and I would encourage all those interested to get involved." said senator Keaveney.

Speaking on the issue of Moville Green, Cllr. McDonald commented. "One of the aims for the Green is that the white wall would be built for the summer and that new benches would be installed before the end of July. I was very disillusioned after raising the issue of seating at yesterday's Heart meeting as I was informed that only 11 seats would be provided and these wouldn't be installed until the end of August, the end of the tourist season. I call on all those who use the green, both young and old, to respect the facilities that are put in place as seats are needed for people to use, not abuse."
