		Ballyshannon was a trading port, and a prosperous one supplying not only south Donegal but Fermanagh and Cavan, until ships grew so big that they found the bar at the mouth of the Erne too great an obstacle.

		Ballyshannon, a town which did not have a choice in the planning of its future before the construction of the Erne hydro-electric scheme in the 1940s, now has the opportunity to demand that its inhabitants be consulted before another major environmental disaster, almost seventy years later, becomes a fait accompli.
		Ballyshannon has suffered more than most towns of its size at the hands of planners far removed from its daily life, its friendly culture, its historical significance.
		For Ballyshannon the choice is clear—a by-pass/through-pass road splitting the town, with social, economic, health and environmental impacts, or the rehabilitation of the River which the town once was famous, and from which it benefited not merely for decades but for thousands of years.
