Annie Coyle
WE’VE been inundated with requests for votes for Donegal finalists in the Doodle4Google competition.
And with a €10k prize for the winner’s school, no wonder!
We can’t back one particular Donegal finalist. So we leave the pleas to those who’ve contacted us on their behalf.
So get voting.
