Tidy town hero dedicates award to volunteers

He’s been a hero in their eyes for decades — but now he’s got the award to prove it.

Tidy Towns volunteer Mick Looney, who has been working tirelessly for more than 30 years to improve Berrings village in Co Cork, was among 10 remarkable volunteers who were presented with a SuperValu Tidy Towns Hero award at The Helix in Dublin yesterday.

And typical of the man, he dedicated his award to those he works with to keep Berrings beautiful.
