Issac Butt |
Ballybofey [Bealach Féich - Fiach's Road ] and Stranorlar [Srath an Urláir - the place in the valley beside the river] are situated on the south and north banks of the River Finn respectively. The 19th century poetess, Francis Browne, was born in Stranorlar. Her contemporary, the orator and founder of the Home Government Party, Issac Butt, is buried in the Protestant graveyard in Ballybofey. The towns grew rapidly in the 19th and 20th centuries and are popular shopping and commercial centres for the people of the Finn Valley. |

Tá Bealach Féich
[Fiach's Road] suite ar thaobh thuaidh abhainn na Finne agus tá
Srath an Urláir [the place in the valley beside the
river] suite ar an taobh dheas den abhainn. Rugadh an banfhile 19ú h-aois
Francis Browne i Srath an Urlár.
Tá a comhaimseartha Issac Butt
curtha i reilig protastúnach i mBealach Féich. Bhunaigh an
óráidí Isaac Butt pairtí an Rialtais Dúchais.
D'fhás na bailte móra seo go h-an ghásta sa naoú
h-aois déag agus sa fichú h-aois. Bailte móra coitianta iad do
dhaoine ó Ghleann Mhagh an Fhinne le haghaidh
síopadoireacht agus cursaí gnó.
