Convoy, County Donegal
Convoy (Irish: ''Conmhaigh'') is a village in the east of County Donegal, Ireland in the Finn Valley region. It is part of the county Barony of Raphoe. It is situated on the river Deele, and on the road from Stranorlar to Raphoe, from which latter parish it was separated in 1825, and formed into a distinct parish. At its north-western extremity is the mountain of Cark, 1198 feet above the level of the sea.〔http://www.from-ireland.net/lewis-topographical-dictionary-article/Convoy/Donegal〕
Convoy has a total population of 1,438 according to the 2011 census. Like many other towns in the vicinity, it has its origins in the Ulster Plantation. Convoy is home to a mixed religious community which is reflected in the schools and churches in the town. There is a Roman Catholic and a mixed primary school as well as a Roman Catholic church, a Church of Ireland and a Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster (which was opened by the founder Rev. Ian Paisley). There are no secondary schools in Convoy and local children tend to travel to Raphoe or Stranorlar for second level education.
==Convoy Woollen Mill==
Convoy once had a woollen mill located on the banks of the River Deele, but this closed in the early 1980s with the resultant loss of many local jobs. Most people who lived in Convoy worked in the Convoy Woollen Mill and what economy there was managed to sustain a couple of shops and the Post Office. If one did not work in the Mill or manage to get casual labouring jobs in one of the farms outside the village, one had little choice but to emigrate, to either building work in England or Scotland or to the promise of something better in America.〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/radiofoyle/peoples_war/stories/mcbride.shtml〕 The woollen mill is now host to a business area that has been promoted and assisted by the state development body FÁS.
