The Trim Municipal District Pride of Place awards were held in Byrnes Bar, Ballivor on Thursday last, September 26th, 2019.

Chairperson of Trim Municipal District, Cllr. Noel French welcomed the guests which included local Councillors and representatives from 24 local community and voluntary groups. Cllr. French commended the fantastic work and achievements of the voluntary groups which demonstrates a real pride the people of Trim Municipal District have in their locality.
