Cork communities vie for Pride of Place award

Three community groups in County Cork are busy sprucing up their areas in the hope of winning a prestigious competition.

Judges in the annual Pride of Place competition, which is sponsored by Irish Public Bodies Mutual Insurances Ltd, have already visited the picturesque village of Glounthaune in East Cork and are preparing in the next few days to check out Milford in North Cork and Goleen, West Cork.

The competition provides groups with the opportunity to showcase specific pride initiatives which will have long lasting and positive impacts on their society.
