Kilmuckridge are the winners of the Co-Operation Ireland IPB Insurance Pride of Place award for Islands and Coastal Communities.
The great news was announced by Marty Morrissey at the Award Ceremony held online this evening.
Cllr Mary Farrell said; “A wonderful achievement for our community, the District and the County. Thank you to the amazing team who put so much work into the presentation and the support of Wexford County Council. It showcases everything good about Kilmuckridge and Morriscastle.”
Kilmuckridge village and Glenbeg Point Estate (Ardamine) were among the 82 groups nominated nationwide.
Local authorities from across the island nominate groups in their communities who they feel have made a significant contribution to improving their neighbourhood, working collectively.
Pride of Place Chairperson Tom Dowling said, “The purpose of these awards has never changed. They are about recognising and celebrating the extraordinary, inspirational, and tireless work being done by communities all over the Island of Ireland as they strive to make their place a better place in which to live.”
