Moynalty and trim eligible to enter irelands best tourism towns

Does Meath have one of Ireland’s best tourism towns? That is the question posed this week by Failte Ireland.
The Minister for Tourism and Sport, Michael Ring and Fáilte Ireland has invited applications from eligible towns in County Meath for the 2015 Tourism Towns Award.
A true Tourism Town must meet some minimum standards of presentation, with the eligible towns for the competition being those who ranked in the top 100 Tidy Towns for 2014. All eligible towns are being contacted directly today with the closing date for applications on Friday 12th June 2015.
Moynalty and Trim are both eligible to enter.
The award, now in its fourth year is all about recognising Irish towns and villages where the local community goes the extra mile to enhance their appeal to tourists.
Minister Ring said: “This award is all about recognising Irish towns and villages which have really gone the extra mile to make Ireland even more attractive for tourists. Tourism isn’t just a business, it’s a community industry and that’s why the whole community has a role in supporting tourism. I would encourage the eligible towns in County Meath to apply to Fáilte Ireland this year and look forward to hearing the overall winners later in the year.”
