County town wins all-island competition
Best Kept Town Competition
Roscommon Town has been named the ‘Best Kept Large Town’ in Ireland in an all-island competition.
The Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys today congratulated the winners of the all-island, Best Kept Town Competition. The results were announced at an awards ceremony in Riddel Hall, Belfast.
Ireland’s Best Kept Town is an all-island competition, in which some of the best villages and towns participating in the SuperValu TidyTowns competition, compete against their counterparts in Northern Ireland’s Best Kept competition.
Randalstown, County Antrim was named overall winner of Ireland’s Best Kept Town competition, 2024.
In other award categories Malin, County Donegal won the Best Kept Village category while Roscommon Town won the Best Kept Large Town category.
Speaking after the awards were announced, Minister Humphreys expressed her heartfelt congratulations to all of the winners and nominees in the competition, and in particular Malin and Roscommon.
Roscommon Tidy Towns members were in attendance at the ceremony and are delighted by the news.
"Many thanks to our hard working volunteers and local residents, businesses, to all the candidates in both elections who respected our request to refrain from putting up posters in the town, and to the Local Authority who supported us greatly during the last few months," the group said.
Roscommon Town last participated in Ireland’s Best Kept Towns Competition back in 2016.
