Coolaney once again has received the award for securing the highest mark in the county. Ballintogher and Riverstown were highly commended. - SuperValu Endeavour Award
This award has been presented to Ballintogher to recognise the town or village in each County, which has made the greatest improvement on its performance over last year.
