Kenmare in Co Kerry is the winner of an all-island competition to find Ireland’s best kept town.
The result was announced at an awards ceremony in Belfast Castle this afternoon.
Lucan in Co Dublin won the best kept large urban centre award, Knockbridge, Co. Louth came up trumps in the best kept village category and Adare, Co. Limerick won the best kept small town award.
The competition is organised by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and the Northern Ireland Amenity Council.
Towns that have reached the highest standards in Tidy Towns in the Republic of Ireland and Best Kept Awards in Northern Ireland are invited to compete against each other.
Towns were judged on criteria such as cleanliness, the outward appearance of buildings, the presentation of roads and public facilities and the natural environment.
