The Battle of Ballinamuck 225th Commemoration Committee were declared as "Runners Up" in The All-Ireland National Pride Of Place awards which were held in Monaghan Town last Saturday night night. 

This is a fantastic achievement and recognition for the enormous contribution that the people of Ballinamuck and the neighbouring parishes of North Longford and South Leitrim made during the commemoration weekend and in the making of The Battle of Ballinamuck Documentary.
