Kildare towns in running for cleanest town award revealed next week

The winner of the 2018 IBAL Anti-Litter League will be announced on Monday next in Buswells Hotel, Dublin at 12 noon.

Ireland’s cleanest town and city  will be honoured by Richard Bruton, TD, Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment.

Kildare Town won the Cleanest Town award in 2016.

Newbridge sculptor Noel Scullion later created a 'Heart of Oak' sculpture placed on St Brigid's Square in the town.

The 'Heart of Oak' piece shows two acorns split in half and facing each other, and it is made up of a mixture of Wicklow and Galway granite stone.
