    Lovely Video, thank you for sharing, as my memory reminds me, the two towns are close by, my bro bought a holiday home in mullaghmore, so when i came home i had to visit. Loved Saint Patricks band, Rathkeen, but why did or does all the southern marching bands want to be american style. If my memory recalls there is a fantastic couple of shops in ballybofey, You know where Mc Ilheneys is, well not them , the small butchers and the cake shop just beside there, in the car park, fantastic produce,
