Leitrim County Council to celebrate Carrick Tidy Towns “wonderful achievement”
Cllr Paddy Farrell proposed hosting a civic reception in honour of the Carrick-on-Shannon Tidy Towns committee, with a date to be confirmed in due course.
Leitrim County Council is set to hold a civic reception for members of the Carrick-on-Shannon Tidy Towns committee following their remarkable win last month, with Carrick-on-Shannon being named both the tidiest town in Ireland and Ireland’s tidiest small town, a historic first for any town to achieve both titles.
The national event took place in Croke Park on October 24, bringing together 600 Tidy Towns volunteers and over 900 towns in competition.
The Carrick-on-Shannon committee attended November’s meeting of Leitrim County Council to present their prestigious award.
Cathaoirleach of Leitrim County Council, Cllr Paddy Farrell, congratulated the group on their “wonderful achievement” in winning a national award.
CEO of Leitrim County Council, Joseph Gilhooly, praised the recognition as “earned and deserved,” adding that it is a fantastic accomplishment.
