The next divergence was from near Dore to Gortahork via Bunbeg and Brinlack with the T72 following the route of the R257. The T72 followed a very different route from Creeslough to Letterkenny compared to the N56. Just south of Creeslough, the T72 turned north-east to Carrigart via Cashel. From Carrigart it went south towards Letterkenny via Milford and Ramelton. The section of the T72 between Creeslough and Letterkeeny is now the R245. |

The route of the T73 was almost identical to the route of the R238 (Inishowen Ring), except for the section between Carndonagh and Gleneely which did not follow the line of the present route of the R238 from Carndonagh to Culdaff to Gleneely. Instead the T73 went directly between Carndonagh and Gleneely following the line of a current Local route. |
