Limerick Tidy Town committees had plenty of cause to celebrate

ALTHOUGH Limerick didnโ€™t win any national awards in this yearโ€™s SuperValu Tidy Towns competition, there was still much to celebrate.

Glaslough in Monaghan won the overall award with 346 marks.

Former national award winner Adare was Limerickโ€™s tidiest town, scoring 335 marks, ย winning a Category C silver medal worth โ‚ฌ700 and a county award worth โ‚ฌ1000.

Galbally was the second biggest winner, collecting a highly commended county award worth โ‚ฌ800, a Category B bronze medal award and 332 points.

Ardpatrick was another big winner for Limerick winning a Category A Bronze Medal worthย โ‚ฌ400, ย a highly commended county award worth โ‚ฌ500 and awardedย 331 marks.

Other bronze medal winners included Castleconnell (Category C),ย Newcastle West (Category E) andย Limerick City (Category H)

Ballyagran was winner of the county endeavour award worth โ‚ฌ500.

Paying tribute to this yearโ€™s winners, Rural and Community Development Minister Michael Ring announced a special allocation of โ‚ฌ1.4 million to support the work of individual TidyTowns Committees around the country.

This is the third year in a row that Minister Ring has allocated funding to support the work of the TidyTowns Committees.

โ€œAll of the towns and villages involved in the competition across the country should benefit from this investment. Wherever you have active Tidy Towns committees, it gives the town a real sense of pride and engagement, and creates a great atmosphere for both residents and visitors alike.โ€

โ€œI want to pay tribute to SuperValu, who are now in their 28thย year as a sponsor and who continue to work with us to grow the competition. It is getting stronger every year with increased participation, an increased number of awards and a notable increase in the efforts of the communities involved,โ€ Minister ย Ring concluded.
