| Carndonagh is situated 18km North East of Buncrana and 2km south of Malin town in the Inishowen peninsula. The name is derived from Carn Domhnach, meaning 'the Cairn of the Parish of Donagh'. The town has a fine example of an early Christian Cross, known as Donagh Cross, which dates from the 7th century. Carndonagh is a busy market town and boasts the largest school in Ireland with over 1800 pupils, one former pupil being the playwright, Frank McGuinness. Tá Carn Domhnach suite 18 ciliméadar ar iar-thuaisceart de bhaile Bun Crannacha agus dhá chiliméadar i ndeisceart baile mór Mhalainne i leathinis Inishowen. Tagann an t-ainm Carn Domhnach ó 'the Cairn of the Parish of Donagh'. Tá sampla maith de chróis Chríostaíochta seanreachta anseo agus an t-ainm a thugtar air nó An Donagh Cross, agus téann an chróis seo arais go dtí an seachtú haois. Baile mór gnóthach margaidh atá ann agus tá an scoil dara-leibheail is mó in Éirinn anseo le níos mó na 1800 daltaí. Ar cheann amháin de na seanscolairí tá an drámadóir cailiúil Frank McGuinness. © |
