Name

Language

There are 2,354 people living in the Anagaire ED and 55% of them are native Irish speakers. Annagry is in the Gaeltacht region which means the official language of the area is Irish. However, the use of the language has been in decline since the 1930s. Despite this, it has an Irish language college in the summer months which runs courses for students from English-speaking areas of the country, Coláiste na Rosann.

Transport

Annagry is one mile from Donegal Airport (Carrickfinn Airport) which has daily flights to Dublin and four flights a week to Glasgow, which are operated by Aer Lingus and Loganair respectively. Annagry is also serviced by a TFI Local Link route from Crolly to Dungloe (Route 992).

Amenities

In the first week of June, the annual 'Annagry Festival' takes place. Sharkey's Bar has been run by the Sharkey family since 1888. The Caisleáin Óir hotel (formerly Jack's Bar) and Duffy's Bar are also public houses in Annagry. There is also a branch of the Cope supermarket chain in the village.
