Doochary (official name: An Dúchoraidh, meaning "black weir"^[2]), is a small village in the Rosses area of County Donegal, Ireland. Doochary is situated within the Gaeltacht, meaning the Irish language is used in the village, but concern has been widely expressed regarding the decline of the language in the area.^[3] Doochary was awarded the Tidy Towns award in 1997.^[4]
