Watch your house, warns fearful Donegal councillor

A Donegal councillor believes the county will be targeted by criminals during the All-Ireland final weekend due to the high numbers planning to travel to Dublin.

With an expected 30,000 people leaving the county for the September 21 game against Kerry, Cllr. Paul Calling from Manorcunningham believes criminal elements will target empty homes unless neighbours keep a close eye out for disturbances.

“I’m appealing to the people, coming into the dark evenings, to be more vigilant,” he said.
