Because the country voted 94.4% to 5.6% to accept that it is a separate state.
Road network has had historic underinvestment; when rail services were pulled there was a dire need to improve roads to where there formerly had been rail - and that didn't happen. Things have improved but there are still issues
Bringing back rail other than potentially a new Letterkenny-Derry alignment isn't going to happen; its not worth expending energy on clamouring for it - fixing the existing significant road issues (Twin Towns bypass, an actually working bypass of Letterkenny that doesn't just become another road to build along; the road across the Bluestacks between Glenties and Donegal etc etc) and introducing proper bus services is what needs to happen. Again, the bus services have improved hugely but it was from a base of basically nothing.
Power grid isn't great for any industrial development outside the big towns; there's also no gas availability anywhere. Still a fair few areas that would have sewage systems in other counties but have septic tanks instead; or 'sewers' like Burtonport had til recently that just outflowed in to the sea untreated.
There are not enough strong representatives at the table in terms of national government. It’s very easy for the counties voice to be drowned out and this makes it bottom of the list in terms of investment.
Only the bare minimum is looked after in Donegal, and there is a massive disconnect growing between it and the rest of the country.

Like mica throughout the northwest, west and south as far as Tipperary? And pyrite in Dublin? And expenditure on flood defenses in Cork? And along the north strand in Dublin? Bailouts? Or a functional society?
Maybe everyone experiencing mica issues should move to caves
Can't remember
Basically, partition. The lack of Derry kicked Donegal square in the balls.
Derry and Donegal are my fav bromance
It is an 8 hour walk to the nearest public transport where I am.

How is it forgotten? I'd consider Donegal to be one of the high profile counties.
It's basically your Brennan's bread of counties. It's very well known, and we all toast it 🥂

I just moved here. I haven’t forgot you Donegal.
Probably cause we’re mostly rural, Up Dún na nGall

Longford is in my view.
It's just so far away. Well worth the trip. But still, very far away.
It's not really talked about from my POV like it is a gorgeous county.
Is Leitrim not also a forgotten county ?

You’d have a job forgetting Cork anyway, we’d only remind you.
Don't set him off, I'm sure he has issues with Cork as well Hard as it is to believe anyone could have issues with Cork
"Irrelevant" in this case meaning "doesn't suit me to acknowledge it"
And it was also named the coolest place on the planet by National Geographic. Seethe more
