Over 1,000 tidy towns committees nationwide are set to benefit from a new insurance premium provided by the Irish Public Bodies (IPB) Insurance and local authorities.

This has been welcomed by councillor Damien Ryan, who had a motion down on this issue earlier this year.
He has been giving more details on this to Midwest Radio’s Alannah Nolan….
