“Having first entered the competition in 1960, Abbeyleix today continues to showcase all that is good about innovation, sustainability, community spirit and volunteerism. This is at the core of what the competition is all about.” “As always, the standard of competition was extremely high this year in all categories, with 887 entries received overall. “I want to pay tribute to all the winners today across all the various categories. “In particular, I want to recognise the vital role of TidyTowns volunteers across the country who are working so hard all year round to ensure our communities are vibrant, sustainable places to live, work and visit. "You are truly an inspiration, and the embodiment of everything that is good in our communities.”The Minister also announced a special allocation of €1.5 million in funding to support the work of TidyTowns groups in their continued efforts to make their towns and villages better places to live, work and visit. “The focus on sustainability and biodiversity are particularly impressive and important for all of us," Humphreys added. "The funding from my Department will help groups continue with their inspirational efforts to transform their communities and the local environment.” Full details of all this year’s winners are available at tidytowns.ie and on SuperValu's website.
