Well done to the Glendalough & District Development Association and the community of Laragh & Glendalough as we came runner up in our population category in the Pride of Place Awards, the finals of which took place in Trim in County Meath over the weekend. This is the eighth year of the Pride of Place Competition. The GDD&A was nominated by Wicklow County Council for the all Ireland Pride of Place competition in recognition of its work in the local area and the establishment of the Brockagh Resource Centre.
