Lifford (Leifear in Irish) is the county town of Donegal in the Republic of Ireland and the seat of Donegal County Council. The town grew up around a castle established there by Manghus ? Domhnaill, ruler of west Donegal, in the 16th century, and later became a British army garrison until Irish independence in 1922. Mickey-Joe Harte and Shay Given are both Lifford natives.
