There have been problems with litter but, on the plus side, we have a very successful tidy towns competition. Every town and village gets a mark each year when they enter the competition and they like to see whether they have improved on that mark. There is a prize for every county and region and communities like to improve their situation. The presentation of prizes is one of the loveliest occasions I have attended. It usually takes place in Roscommon or Mayo – in our region. It is a source of pride to communities when they are able to say their mark has gone up and they can move on to other projects. Some very good projects have come out of the tidy towns competition.
