A Chara, - Kevin Myers (June 27th) is entitled to his political views on how and why the people of Donegal voted in the recent election. He is also absolutely accurate in his evaluation of south-west Donegal as "the home of some of the most charming and nicest people in Ireland".excellent restaurants available in the region.

This area is one of the fastest developing tourism regions in the country and not without reason. The range of excellent hotels, restaurants and visitor attractions from Donegal Town, through Killybegs, Glencolmcille, Ardara and on to Glenties surpasses those in most other regions.

Egon Ronay's scouts may not have bothered to travel to the hills of Donegal but many others thankfully do. Mr Myers can avail of our hospitality, experience the uniqueness of the SW Donegal peninsula and, perhaps, have a fire-side chat with one of our local characters and discover why we vote the way we do! - Le dea mhein
