Garda\u00ed arrived on the scene a short-time later to disperse the crowd. It is believed the youths came to the area from other towns and villages in the Finn Valley.<\/p>\n<p>However, a local resident is offering a substantial reward to anyone who can provide information that will lead to an arrest, conviction, or help prevent a repeat of last year\u2019s antics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA number of years ago, a vacant house was set alight and, last year, tyres were burned on top of Dromore Bridge,\u201d they told Donegal Daily.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am offering \u20ac1,000 to anyone who can help prevent this Halloween madness by providing information in advance to Garda\u00ed or Donegal County Council. The reward can also be claimed if someone can provide details which leads to an arrest for conviction for the wanton destruction of private and public property in our community. Enough is enough\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Local Councillor Patrick McGowan also described last year\u2019s vandalism and an attack on the local community.<\/p>\n<p>He urged anyone with information to come forward, stating: \u201cThose who carried out this are criminals and anyone who has any knowledge of anyone who was involved has an obligation to contact the Garda or anyone else in the community.
