UPDATE: Severe parking issues at Shroove Beach in Greencastle, Donegal led to significant delays for the Local Link bus service last night, causing a disruption of over 90 minutes. Authorities are raising alarms about the potential dangers posed by abandoned vehicles along the bridge.
The chaos unfolded on the evening of July 24, 2025, when a Local Link bus was unable to navigate the bridge due to cars parked irresponsibly. Bernard McGuinness, manager of Foyle Coaches, expressed his concerns during an interview, highlighting that “inconsiderate parking makes it difficult to operate services,” and emphasized the dangerous implications if an emergency were to arise.
Local official Councillor Martin Farren joined the call for action, stating that a collaborative effort between Gardai and Donegal County Council is essential to enforce existing parking bylaws. He stressed that without immediate intervention, the situation could escalate, compromising public safety and access to emergency services.
This incident reflects growing frustrations among residents and visitors alike, as the increasing popularity of Donegal’s beaches has led to recurring parking issues. With summer traffic at its peak, officials are urging beachgoers to adhere to parking regulations to prevent future delays and ensure public safety.
As authorities assess the situation, locals are encouraged to stay informed about updates and potential changes to parking regulations. The immediate response from local authorities will be crucial in preventing further disruptions and safeguarding public access.
