Īs with previous years, Limerick’s famous Georgian heritage was marked by the October winner, O’Gormans Solicitors took the award in October for its perfectly maintained double-fronted building at the corner of O’Connell Street and Hartstonge Street.įor the first time ever, monthly awards last year went to a private individual rather than a business, for the enchanting little oriental garden at Tritonville on O’Connell Avenue who won in June, which came third in the overall event.
Pictured at the presentation of the Limerick Tidy Towns Monthly Award for November 2016 are Limerick Tidy Towns Overall Winner 2016 Mother Mac’s were Sharon Slater, Limerick Tidy Towns, James and Michael McMahon, Mother Mac’s and Maura O’Neill, Limerick Tidy Towns. This is especially true of the two 2016 pub monthly winners, being The Cauldron Bar in May, and Mother Macs in November, who also took the prize for overall winner. Limerick’s pubs are always well represented in the list of monthly winners, mainly due to the importance of the positive impression of Limerick they give to both locals and visitors to the city who frequent them. The Canty family were praised for the work that went into it and its overall positive effect on Little Catherine Street. One such example was the fabulous but sympathetic refurbishment of the March winner, The Red Church on Henry Street, by M&C Property, transforming it from a neglected empty building to a gorgeous space, both inside and out.Īnother hugely impressive refurbishment of a long-standing Limerick business is the September winner and overall runner-up Bean a Ti since its re-launch in 2016. Sharon mentioned that the Tidy Towns volunteers have seen a big improvement in Limerick city as a whole since they first started presenting these awards back in 2014, and felt that 2016 had been a particularly good year with the city centre being regenerated at a pace, with new units opening and existing ones being given new leases of life. The judging for this will take place in May, two months earlier than the normal competition judging which takes place in July. She stressed that it was particularly important this year as Limerick city centre has been nominated for a separate “Ireland’s Best Kept Towns” award in the Large Urban Centre category, following the rise in their points mark in last year’s application from 2015. She explained that Limerick Tidy Towns continually strive to get more volunteers as well as extra support from the Local Authority, and hoped to encourage more people to join them either on their regular clean ups, or indeed just to commit to keeping their own properties looking well, which is what was being recognised in the monthly awards. Sharon Slater spoke at the event and thanked everyone for coming. There was a good turnout of representatives from monthly award winners, along with 20 overall winners and Limerick Tidy Towns volunteers and committee members. Pictured at the presentation of the Limerick Tidy Towns Monthly Award December 2016 and Limerick Tidy Towns Overall Winner 2016 were Sharon Slater, Limerick Tidy Towns, James McMahon, Mother Mac’s, Maura O’Neill, Limerick Tidy Towns and Michael McMahon, Mother Mac’s.
