THE VILLAGE
Recently at the Tidy Towns awards ceremony in the Dublin our village not only held its own, but increased by 3 marks from last year which is so difficult to get when near the top.
This year had 800 entries and competition has become fierce especially in the village category.
We thank all who helped us keep on this level.
Next year will be the 40th year in the competition.
