Tidy Towns groups across the Shannonside region say they are looking forward to preparing for next year’s competition.
Minister Heather Humphreys announced this week that the competition will go ahead in 2021.
The Minister says the Department is currently considering the format the competition could take next year, having regard to restrictions on gatherings at each of the Living with Covid 19 Levels and the protection of volunteers and adjudicators.
Many local groups welcomed the break to revaluate their projects and have kept a number of projects going as Philip Butler of Abbeyshrule Tidy Towns in Longford explains.
Ann Connell in Castlecoote in Roscommon says they too have kept a number of projects going, but she says many groups are hoping there will be the opportunity to raise some funds to resource their activities.
