Lorrha Notes

Belated congratulations to Rathcabbin man Declan Molloy who captained Leitrim to their first All Ireland.

Lorrha Tidy Towns.

Lorrha scored 320 markes in this year’s competition, up four marks on last year. The most promising aspect is, no marks were lost on any category which is very important. Congratulations to all on another year of hard work with a special mention to the estate resident’s for their work.  In order to advance in this competition, more volunteers are required for work evenings and to carry out the required work to gain more marks. The report is available to read on the Tidy Towns website and do keep up the good work. Well done all.
