Killarney gets ready for the visual Oscars

KILLARNEY rallied to the cause in earnest when the town issued its annual battle cry to make a clean sweep.
Now those who have done themselves and their locality proud will reap their rewards, as the details of the Killarney Looking Good competition are unveiled.
The awards night takes place in the Killarney Plaza Hotel on Tuesday, October 17, at 7.30pm, with Tidy Towns judge, Eamonn De Stafort, presenting the prizes.
This initiative - sponsored and promoted by The Kingdom since the outset - contributes in no small way to Killarney’s efforts to clinch honours in the national tidy towns competition and features numerous categories in its own right.

When he launched Killarney Looking Good 2006 programme, town mayor Tom Doherty said he takes pride in the positive feedback he receives from visitors to the town.
"Practically each and every individual or more often than not groups of people have reported back on how good Killarney looks," he said.
Cllr Doherty added that it was a positive reflection both on the town’s beauty as well as the facilities offered by its hotels that Killarney continues to attract major conferences.

The Killarney Looking Good Competition is organised by a dedicated Killarney Town Council sub-committee, spearheaded by Yvonne Quill.
