RTÉ Presenter Justin Treacy who was Master of Ceremonies on the night remarked: “The Laois Federation of Tidy Towns is a unique organisation wherein Tidy Towns groups across County Laois actively encourage and support each other leading to a wealth of shared knowledge and experience which has greatly enhanced the overall calibre of Tidy Towns across the county” .

The Laois Federation of Tidy Towns was established in 1998 and at present has 32 groups registered.  Tidy Towns are groups of dedicated volunteers, who have been conserving and enhancing the local environment in their community for many years and are an invaluable resource to our County.

The Laois Federation of Tidy Towns Awards was adjudicated by Laois Federation of Tidy Towns Committee members and they had a considerable task of deliberating as the competition across all categories was very strong. 

All winners were presented with a plague and a cheque from Laois Federation of Tidy Towns with the winners also receiving a perpetual cup to display within their community.
