Pride of Place - Ratoath Municipal District Awards night

The Ratoath Municipal District 2024 Pride of Place awards were conducted at Dunboyne Castle Hotel on Thursday, October 3.

The Cathaoirleach of Ratoath Municipal District, Councillor Nick Killian, expressed his honour in welcoming the thirty-six groups participating in the awards ceremony. He emphasised the presence of various diverse groups, associations, and organisations throughout the district that selflessly offer a wide array of services across multiple sectors. These entities play a vital role in supporting their respective communities and often provide essential services that the local authority may be unable to deliver.

Ms. Fiona Fallon, Director of Services for Ratoath MD, conveyed her delight that the awards constituted her inaugural event in her new role.

She articulated the significance of the Pride of Place initiative, noting that it fosters and promotes community engagement and development while facilitating collaboration between the Council and local communities. Ms. Fallon commended the dedication and efforts of the community groups over the past year, remarking that all nominated entities exemplify the strong community spirit prevalent throughout Meath, each committed to enacting positive civic change within their locales.

She extended her gratitude to all groups for their invaluable contributions.
