The ‘Going for Gold’ competition was a major campaign to encourage businesses, community groups and individuals to improve their areas in a bid to make Limerick city and suburbs Ireland’s cleanest city. Limerick City Council, in association with the JP McManus Charitable Foundation, sought the involvement of all communities to go the extra mile in improving their areas.

The award is a wonderful endorsement of the work of people in the village of Annacotty and what the Mulkear River has to offer to the people of the area. MulkearLIFE looks forward to building on the exceptional partnership between MulkearLIFE/ Inland Fisheries Ireland and the Tidy Towns Committee and the Mulkear Conservation Volunteers.
