Carrick-on-Shannon celebrated its 2025 Tidy Towns success with the unveiling of a commemorative plaque in the Market Yard by President Catherine Connolly, recognising the town as both Ireland’s Tidiest Town and Ireland’s Tidiest Small Town.
Speakers at the event praised the dedication of the Tidy Towns Committee and volunteers, with President Connolly and Chairperson John Gaffey highlighting the importance of community spirit, sustainability and year-round commitment in achieving the award.
The plaque now stands as a lasting reminder of the town’s achievement and the collective effort of volunteers, local businesses and residents who continue to keep Carrick-on-Shannon looking its best.
