Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this warm and rather overcast,Tuesday morning.
A million congratulations to our brilliant Tidy Towns Committee and all their helpers on getting on so well in the Competition finals which were announced yesterday.
Millstreet won a National Bronze Medal Award of €400 in Category D (population of 2,500 to 5000), and raised our score by four points to 295 . They also won Category D for Cork North (well ahead of Fermoy, Mitchelstown and Charleville), and finished second overall in Cork North only to previous national champions Coolagown, and our committee were ‘Highly Commended’.
The winner nationally was Abbeyshrule, Co Longford who had a score of 312 points. Please look up our website for the finer details. In the meantime let us once again congratulate all those who had any hand in our fine achievements at this year’s awards. And please continue to keep Millstreet and its approach roads clean and tidy.
