Meath and Limerick have both won top awards at the annual Tidy Towns ceremony held in Croke Park. Meath celebrated a “bumper haul” with multiple recognitions, while Limerick secured a national prize. The event, organized by SuperValu, brought together communities across Ireland to showcase their efforts in maintaining clean and sustainable environments.

The Tidy Towns awards, a long-standing initiative promoting environmental responsibility, saw Meath receive several accolades for its community-led initiatives. Limerick’s Kilmallock Tidy Towns team was honored with the national prize, highlighting their outstanding efforts in cleanliness and sustainability. Both counties demonstrated strong commitment to environmental stewardship through local projects and public engagement.

The Tidy Towns program, established in the 1970s, encourages towns to improve their surroundings through community action. This year’s awards in Croke Park marked another milestone in the campaign, with winners selected based on criteria including cleanliness, sustainability, and community involvement. The event underscored the ongoing importance of local initiatives in addressing environmental challenges.
