Fine Gael TD for County Limerick, Patrick O’Donovan, has today welcomed the results of the 2013 National Tidy Towns Awards and has congratulated Limerick’s winners.
“Close on seventy Tidy Town groups from the various villages and towns across Limerick took part in this year’s competition and I would like to congratulate the many volunteers and groups who give their time and effort, year on year, in order to make their communities better places”.
“I would like to congratulate Limerick’s winners in the competition, we have three medals returning to the County this year following the competition, and while some places did exceptionally well, in my eyes all the towns and villages that participated in the competition are winners.
These wins have not alone brought acclaim to the villages and towns associated with the wins, but are a great endorsement that ripples out to encompass the entire county. There is no doubt that the work carried out by the Tidy Town’s committees across the county has greatly developed the local communities and enhanced the local areas”.
The Tidy Towns movement has to be commended for its work in the various towns and villages across Limerick. It creates fantastic community involvement. The amount of work that goes into winning awards like these is unknown, except to those involved on the ground. I would like to congratulate every person involved in many Tidy Towns Committees across the county and wish in future competitions.
