AN enhanced Portaleen Viewing Point at Glengad, Malin, has been officially opened.
The viewing location was opened by Councillor Martin McDermott, Leas-Chathaoirleach of Donegal County Council.
The project received €50,000 funding under the CLAR programme which is targeted at infrastructure projects in rural areas that have suffered from severe population decline.
The event celebrated the provision of a safe viewing point with vehicle parking, bi-lingual information/orientation panels, a newly constructed natural stone boundary wall, new enhanced fencing, landscaping, accessible picnic benches and seating.

The addition of bi-lingual information panels at the viewing point is the latest development of an ongoing project to enhance visitor experience on the coastal touring route of the Wild Atlantic Way.
Portaleen Viewing Point is a place where the community and tourists can now come together in unobstructed views across the coastal landscape, working pier and the Atlantic Ocean.
