The SuperValu TidyTowns competition for 2012 has been officially launched by Mr. Phil Hogan, T.D., Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, together with Mr. Martin Kelleher, Managing Director of SuperValu, main sponsors of the competition. Speaking at the launch in Killarney, Minister Hogan said, “SuperValu and my Department are asking people to once again ”get their hands dirty” for SuperValu TidyTowns in 2012. Last year saw over 820 cities, towns and villages entering the competition and it is our intention that it will be even bigger and better this year.” The Minister also expressed his gratitude to SuperValu, the competition’s sponsor for the past 21 years for their continued support. “I’d like to thank SuperValu for their unwavering support which has helped to sustain and grow this competition over the years. I am delighted that they have come on board again for the next 5 years until 2016. It must be one of the longest-running sponsorships of its kind in Ireland.” Mr. Martin Kelleher, Managing Director of SuperValu added, “2012 represents a landmark year for SuperValu and the national TidyTowns competition. We are celebrating 21 years of SuperValu’s Sponsorship of TidyTowns, in what is one of the longest running sponsorships of its kind in Ireland. We are also incredibly proud to be announcing that this year we have renewed and strengthened our relationship by becoming Title Sponsor of the SuperValu TidyTowns competition. We live in challenging economic and social times, but what the SuperValu TidyTowns competition demonstrates time and again, is the total commitment and dedication of people up and down the country to their local communities. For us there is no better way to demonstrate our commitment to help build vibrant local communities than through the TidyTowns Sponsorship.” Minister Hogan mentioned the importance of us presenting our country in the best possible light, as a clean and green destination to live, work and do business in. “I am encouraging local authorities to strengthen their links with existing community groups, including TidyTowns committees. My Department has also been working in partnership with Volunteer Ireland to grow voluntary effort; their website www.volunteer.ie matches members of the public interested in volunteering with voluntary opportunities in their own areas. I would ask TidyTowns groups to seize these initiatives. TidyTowns has been improving the environment in which we live for over 50 years and has helped to foster Ireland’s image abroad. I would like to see the competition continue to grow and I would encourage everybody to get out there and do their bit for their community.” The closing date for receipt of entries for this year’s competition is 25th May 2012.
