This video shows rally cars from The Donegal Rally (1999) leaving the Market Square area of Letterkenny, County Donegal. The drivers include Bertie Fisher, Austin McHale and James Cullen. Cars now leave from outside An Grianan Theatre on the Port Road. The other clips were recorded, we believe, in Ramelton also in County Donegal.
