Letterkenny Institute of Technology and and CLG Dhún na nGall have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for a three year period. Under this agreement, Letterkenny Institute of Technology will now be the Education and Lifestyle partner of CLG Dhún na nGall.

This memorandum of understanding formalises the strong working relationship between both organisations and recognises the opportunity to develop significant value in civic and community contribution.

Speaking at this signing, Donegal County Board Chairman Sean Dunnion said: “We have been developing this MoU (memorandum of understanding) with LYIT over the past 9 months and we are delighted today to formally launch the partnership that we believe will be mutually beneficial to both CLG Dhún na nGall and Letterkenny Institute of Technology.

"LYIT are providing us with a top-class menu of services that we can use in the preparation of our county teams and development squads in both hurling and football. LYIT are also providing opportunities for current underage players completing their Leaving Certificate and current/former adult county players to return to education for part-time programmes.

Speaking about this development, Donegal footballer, Karl Lacey, said: "There is tremendous value in Donegal GAA having an Education and Lifestyle Partner of the scale of Letterkenny Institute of Technology and we strongly believe that this co-operation will reciprocate in value to the Institute with one of their strategic objectives being to increase their capacity to serve the people of County Donegal on a wider and stronger basis."
