Donal’s Departure

The Monaghan Town Team extends their gratitude to Donal McElwain, MD Coordinator of Monaghan Municipal District, and wishes him success in his new role.

Donal is well known for his involvement in setting up the Monaghan Town Team and the town voucher scheme that began in 2016. This initiative launched in October of that year with the goal of involving 100 shops and achieving €150,000 in sales. The scheme surpassed expectations, selling €350,000 worth of vouchers in 12 weeks with over 150 businesses taking part. To date, the voucher scheme has generated and circulated over €10 million within the local economy, with Donal being a significant supporter of this vision.

As MD Coordinator, Donal has contributed to various projects including the Monaghan Town Awards, the Christmas Lights, Rossmore Giants, the Monaghan Food Tourism Network, the St. Patrick's Day Festival, and so much more.

The team appreciates Donal's support, knowledge, belief, dedication, and kindness, and wishes him well in his new position at Monaghan County Council.
