“Pride of Place recognises what’s good in communities. I am delighted to welcome the judges to South Dublin County – they will see some excellent places and projects. South Dublin has done well in this competition previously with Killinarden Community winning their category and Fettercairn Community coming runner up. I wish all the entries the very best of luck. They increase our pride in our County†said Mayor Cathal King
