A large Defence Forces exercise with more than 600 troops will take place in the Loch Gartain area of Donegal from next Sunday until the following Thursday.
An unusual aspect of the exercise will be the involvement of the Naval Service flagship, LE Eithne, which will transport a company of troops to Rathmullen where there will be a simulated landing involving Sea Raider craft and naval divers.
The exercise will lead to disruption on the Rathmullan-Ramelton-Letterkenny road on Monday. On Tuesday there will be disruption on the Fintown-Letterkenny road and in the area of the Ballyshannon-Ballybofey road.
On Wednesday and Thursday Glendown-Gartan to Akibbon Bar and the Churchill area in general will be affected by disruption and the noise of explosions and battle simulations.
