Guests included County Mayor Cllr Danny Collins, Lord Mayor Cllr Deidre Forde, Cork County Council CEO Mr Tim Lucey National President Muintir na Tire Paddy Fitzpatrick, and representatives of Muintir na Tire Community groups from all over the city and county.

County Mayor Cllr Danny Collins announced Ballineen Enniskeane Tidy Towns as the overall winners of the Pride of County Cork Award. Their entry this year included the Sculpture project An Garraí and the Goirtín Rua Garden projects in Enniskeane Village.

County Mayor Cllr Danny Collins, thanked all the winners of the other categories and all those who entered the competition this year. He said that he was delighted that so many groups entered the competition. He said that it was great to see the effort being put in by community groups in developing projects. he added that ‘this great competition recognises and rewards community groups who develop new or existing locally-based Amenity/ Projects which are of long-term benefit to the local community’.

 

The Judges from Cork County Council and Muintir na Tire were very impressed this year with the high standard this year.

Mr Sean Holland Chairman of the organising committee was keen to point out that competition seeks to make local people conscious of their local environment and also to promote litter free communities. He said the competition is open to all voluntary groups in County Cork and now in Cork City as well.

 

National President of Muintir na Tire Mr. Paddy Fitzpatrick said these projects highlight the important link between our surroundings and our quality of life. It is no wonder he said that people travel from far and near to visit Cork.

 

He thanked both County Councils for providing support for all of the groups in bringing the projects to fruition.  He said these projects brighten up communities and enhance the natural beauty of the surroundings in which we live as well as attracting tourists.
