COMMUNITY – YOUR PLANNING AND
INVOLVEMENT / AN POBAL - PLEANÁIL AGUS
RANNPHÁIRTÍOCHT:
Cuireann an moltóir seo fáilte roimh Glaslough-
Glasloch páirt a ghlacadh i gComórtas Náisiúnta
SuperValu na mBailte Slachtmhara 2019. I wish to
start by thanking you for your application which was
so expertly put together. Your recommendation re
proposed route was only partially adhered to as this
adjudicator tends to follow their nose. However, it did
provide a very good guide and was used as a check
to ensure that the entirety of your village/centre
was considered. Congratulations on your significant
achievement in winning Irelands Tidiest Village 2018
and your gold medal in Entente Florale Europe 2017
marking your success on both the National and
European stage. Last year’s adjudicator suggested
that your quintessential moto may be ‘Developing
the community is about developing the social capital’
a sentence that emanated in part from yourselves. I
agree with the sentiments generally and believe it is
certainly apt for Glaslough. If I was to define what I
found it would be a ‘Community in absolute Unity’.
A community with 12 different community-based
organisations all working in unity. A community
that both welcomes and actively encourages input
from all different age groups and sections of society.
A community that understands the importance
of partnership as is clear with the high level of
co-operation with the local authority, other state
agencies and the highly collaborative partnership
with Castle Leslie Estate. You are a community that
has its youth and children both front and centre.
Long gone are the days where children were to be
seen but not heard. A community that in its pursuit
of excellence has developed a suite of strategically
important technical documents, plans, proposals
and promotional material. These documents have
been guided by competent professional experts
supported by your community following broad
public consultation to ensure that everything is
done correctly, nothing is left to chance, and no
stone left unturned. What astonishes me more than
24
anything is your committee’s ability to analyse and
critique the criteria that forms part of each individual
category of this competition. Following that you
designed, developed and delivered projects that are
both unique and very relevant.
STREETSCAPE & PUBLIC PLACES /
SRÁID-DREACH & ÁITEANNA POIBLÍ:
A sense of place with a strong architectural
heritage is what struck me more than anything
else when considering the village core. The housing
developments on the village green is not out of
character and does not detract from main Street
in any way, in fact the building line is reinforced
as you enter the main approach to the village.
The replacement of original windows and doors
with modern artificial materials such as uPVC or
aluminium has been common. Your Architectural
Conservation Area (ACA) report addresses this issue
and recommends that the reinstatement of windows
to the correct historic design will be encouraged.
The almost complete absence of overhead wire-
scapes and the provision of a decorative lighting
scheme also gives prominence to main street as
it establishes the village core. Your ACA report
recommends that consideration should be given
to extending such works to the area covered by the
ACA report. I realise that such works are expensive
and disruptive and suggest that it should be a
considered in the long term.
Towns and Villages need civic spaces for people to
congregate and socialise. The diamond provides
such a superb space and you cannot visit this
space without realising its history. The work of your
committee has not detracted from this space in
any way but has acknowledged sympathetically its
significant history. My predecessor (last year’s judge)
noted that Castle Leslie is not among the buildings
included in the TidyTowns submission presuming
that they are on private property. Noting that ‘yet
it is public’. I am delighted to note the inclusion of
the recently completed 21 new room development
 IREL AND’S TIDIEST TOWN
in this category. I visited the development and found
it to be well designed and most appropriate in this
setting. I believe it is not possible to consider the
village separate from Castle Leslie Estate or vice
versa. Both are inherently linked. This was clear
to me during my visit where I observed people
accessing Castle Leslie Estate from the main street
without any obstacles as if the estate is a natural
extension of the main street. Main Street and the
village core were ablaze with colour. Each building
and public lighting column adorned with beautiful
floral displays that all combined to great effect.
It was noted from your application that the public
lighting standards had been recently cleaned and
painted but I am not exaggerating when I say that
they sparkled from top to bottom in the sunshine.
What I was not prepared for in the streetscape
and public spaces that I visited was the complete
absence of litter. Not one piece was detected. ZERO
litter. The refurbishment/repainting of the cast iron
seats has given a freshness wherever they have
been located. The bright heritage colour chosen
works to good effect. Your recently completed
ACA report recommends the inclusion of bicycle
stands and charging points for cars and moving
to quality concrete finishing techniques and away
from Macadam and gravel surfacing on footpaths
to increase the visual character of the public
realm. I agree and when planning future projects
consideration should be given to these important
recommendations. The Oakland Centre looked
fantastic. I admired the pedestrian access gates with
an emblem of an Oak tree crafted into the gates. The
area presented clean, fresh and well maintained as
did the playground. The recently resurfaced car Park
serving the National School involved a significant
investment and is a big addition to the school. Again,
ZERO litter in any form was found in the Car Park
and Saint Marys National School. The renovation
works done on the Railway station signal box and old
laundry was noted and the works done to date are of
a high standard. The recently complete TidyTowns
Roses Fountain in Tullyree created to mark your
significant achievement in this competition and
Entante Florale is a substantial landscape feature
that will be enjoyed for many generations. I noted
and welcome the involvement of local Community
Employment participants in its construction. The
plinth surrounding the piece constructed from
precast concrete units provides a nice seat that
will encourage visitors to sit and enjoy the feature.
I look forward to seeing the completion of the
landscaping works which will assist in softening the
piece and integrating it more into the space. I had an
opportunity to visit and assess the ongoing walled
garden restoration works on Castle Leslie Estate. The
herbaceous border was breathtakingly beautiful. It
is wonderful to see a renewed effort to restore this
valuable resource as an amenity to be enjoyed by all.
I wish all involved every success in completing the
project in its
entirety.
GREEN SPACES AND LANDSCAPING /
SPÁSANNA GLASA AGUS TÍRDHREACHÚ:
It is astonishing for a community such as yours
to be able to grow up to 7,000 plants annually
(something a small commercial operation would
be proud of) and to use these plants to satisfy your
own needs. This is truly a remarkable achievement.
As your committee is aware there is a huge effort
involved in growing these plants and massive work
in maintaining planters and displays. Here again
nothing is left to chance with a detailed maintenance
roster put in place to ensure that everything looks its
best. The plant mix used in your displays is far from
mono but instead incorporates a list of species that
benefits our pollinators and has been broadened
this year to include edibles. Considering your overall
planting schemes throughout the village you have
achieved a good balance between container plants
and permanent planting. Your efforts are not hit and
miss but focused on landscaping for a purpose with
specific consideration given to seasonal interest,
colour, visual amenity and softening hard areas.
25
 IREL AND’S TIDIEST TOWN
I am aware that some technical assistance has
been given to your committee in this regard from
the dedicated gardening team from Castle Leslie
Estate further evidence of the strong link between
the estate and the community. Your application
included photographic evidence and detail on winter
and spring planting which was obviously difficult to
evaluate during my visit. But I am happy to conclude
that your efforts are not focused on a single season,
to the contrary your detailed diligence is 12 months
365 days a year operation. The Oakland gardens
containing a bee and butterfly garden, a biodiversity
garden and a sensory garden has elements that
address three important topics located in a
superb location and all three elements presented
beautifully on the day of adjudication, as did the
Coach Garden, the Station Gates, Caledon Road and
Barrack Hill. I acknowledge your efforts to reduce
and share maintenance operations, but it must be
noted that all these aforementioned schemes are
high maintenance schemes that are maintained to
an exemplarily standard. The quality of the planting
and maintenance standards achieved in all these
areas is of the highest degree and in my opinion
any of these projects would not look out of place as
show gardens at the Chelsea Flower Show or Bloom
in the Park. The Tree Survey and Management Plan
has provided good guidance for your committee
and I note some progress on recommendations
made. The plan is detailed and informative and I
want to highly commend your committee to have
the foresight to invest in getting expert advice to
guide your endeavours on this important subject.
The assistance and technical support given by the
gardening team associated with Castle Leslie Estate
regarding tree management is invaluable. A word of
caution, the biggest threat to trees in public spaces
is mechanical damage by grass cutting equipment
and most notably strimmer’s. During my visit the
use of strimmer’s in maintenance operations was
witnessed although no significant damage to trees
detected. However, a dead tree was observed to the
front of Tullyree and consideration should be given
26
to removing this tree. A significant number of Oak
trees have been planted on all approach roads to the
village which will provide scenic tree lined avenues
to the village for future generations. Among the
appendices included in your application was the
Glaslough Village Green guidelines that gives very
good guidance on planting suggestions covering
hedges, bedding plants etc. However, no information
guidance was given in respect of trees.
NATURE AND BIODIVERSITY IN YOUR LOCALITY /
AN DÚLRA AGUS AN BHITHÉAGSÚLACHT I DO
CHEANTAR:
This category requires the applicant amongst
other things to show evidence of the key issues of
education
conservation and celebration, evidence of baseline
information on local species & habitats and produce
Biodiversity and associated Management Plans. On
all the above you have achieved significant progress.
The range of projects submitted under this category is
vast. And due to brevity considerations for this report,
it is not possible to address them all individually.
But rest assured I have considered each in detail. In
summary under the heading of Maintenance (M)10
number are noted in your application and under the
heading of future projects (FP) 4 number noted,
astonishingly under the heading New (N)14 distinct
projects/initiatives have been undertaken in the
past 12 months. This clearly demonstrates to me
the emphasis your community has placed on this
important category. Your committee understands
that education is key in this category and I want to
complement your involvement in the Biodiversity
training programme. 15 number participants on
the course is a remarkable achievement. The detail
given on the course shows you covered a wide range
of topics all relevant to the valuable work your
committee undertakes. I must comment specifically
on the ‘Grow My Tree’ Pilot Project. This is a superb
project on some many fronts. The emphasis of the
project on educating children about the importance
 IREL AND’S TIDIEST TOWN
of growing trees and their responsibility in looking
after them along with the sourcing of saplings from
Castle Leslie Estate thus ensuring provenance of
stock all combines wonderfully. A visit to St Marys
NS with the vast array of projects and initiatives
clearly demonstrates that the children understand
both nature and biodiversity in their locality. The
underlying principal of partnership is also obvious
in the range of projects submitted under this
heading. Of note was the Water Catchment projects
and I am happy to conclude that the problem
pertaining to poor water quality has been identified
in the Glaslough Rivers, Streams and Lakes and the
community of Glaslough are now facing the problem
head on.
SUSTAINABILITY – DOING MORE WITH LESS /
INMHARTHANACHT - MÓRÁN AR AN MBEAGÁN:
Your involvement in the Transition Monaghan
Workshop and the regional gathering for climate
change focusing on developing a low carbon future
by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and dealing with
issues presented by Climate Change shows how you
can think global and act local. The Greener Glaslough
Campaign gives your community a strong branding.
But it is more than that noting that the campaign
has resulted in tangible successful initiatives
such as the reusable coffee cups. Your publication
Greener Glaslough ‘A guide to Greener Living’ is an
informative well put together publication that is not
left to gather dust. During my visit I noted its free
availability at two premises visited. Congratulations
on a fine publication. Your waste prevention
initiatives involving food production and food waste
training, rainwater harvesting, reusable bottle
project, no plastic straws and the recently installed
water filling station at the Oakland Centre are all
excellent initiatives. The comprehensive list of waste
prevention measures either planned or undertaken
are significant also. Of note was the Making Waves
Festival from what I understand it was the first
zero waste festival ever held in Ireland. Also, I have
come to expect from Glaslough your schools are an
integral part of the different initiatives developed
and progressed in this important category. The
involvement of local businesses is vital and again it
is great that Castle Leslie Estate are advancing with
recycling training. Your approach in all initiatives
and projects developed in this category promotes
an ethos of Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. It is a
combination of the results of all these efforts by a
dedicated community that demonstrates that you
are a community that cares for your environment.
Well done.
TIDINESS AND LITTER CONTROL /
SLACHTMHAIREACHT AGUS RIALÚ BRUSCAIR:
An adjudicators task in identifying litter is normally
straight forward. I tend to use terms to describe the
litter levels noted from heavily littered to litter free.
But as noted previously I was simply not prepared
for what I found in Gaslough, absolutely Zero litter
which I have never encountered before. This will
come as no shock to your committee simply because
you have taken a proactive approach to dealing with
this issue. Initiatives like area leaders, seasonal clean
ups, minute clean up, litter patrols, Junior TidyTowns
litter patrols and the significant involvement that the
business community has all combined to result in
this astonishing achievement. Other works involving
cleaning signs, painting fences and weed control
only further enhance the appearance of the village.
This list has dealt with the tangible works. But the
intangible the things that you cannot always put your
finger on are also contributing to this category. Such
as workshops and training on segregation of waste,
anti-litter posters and promoting your message
through local radio and social media. The Beautiful
Glaslough Competition and awards ceremony now
in its third year is a very successful event. I want to
sincerely congratulate your 2018 award winners.
Bring Centres tend to be littered hot spots and no
matter what you do it is difficult to screen these
facilities. Both issues were addressed favourably
27
 IREL AND’S TIDIEST TOWN
at your facility in the Oakland Centre here, again
Zero litter was detected, and the screening of these
recycling facilities ensures that they do not detract
from the visual amenity at this prominent location.
Last year’s adjudicator noted ‘The visual blemish of
the rusty corrugate-iron roof of the old farm building
at the bottom of Barrack Hill near the equestrian.’
On the 2nd day of adjudication, I noted a tastefully
worded information panel at the site giving both a
reasonable and plausible explanation on why you
have been unable to deal with this site. I want to
commend your committee for having the foresight
to meet with the owners to address the issue. Some
things take time and I believe that to be the case
here.
RESIDENTIAL STREETS & HOUSING AREAS /
SRÁIDEANNA CÓNAITHE & CEANTAIR
TITHÍOCHTA:
Litter control is one the considerations in this
category and again Zero litter was found in any
residential streets and housing areas visited. The
new picnic area, the new paths and the wheelchair
ramps at the Oakland Centre are all important
improvements at this profile location. Best of luck
with your pending applications to resurface the
Tennis and Basketball Courts. The maintenance
works on the Diamond, Main Street, Newline,
Station Gates, Barrick Hill the Cottages and Tullyree
area are all important works and delighted to note
that all these maintenance operations are carried
out without using any chemicals. This admirable
decision increases your workload significantly, so
it is a well-informed principled decision and well
done to all involved. The works in Tullyree involving
new fence and kerbing has progressed well. The
landscaping on the village green is attractive and
the recent reduction in the height of the hedges
is effective and should be retained. The village
Green planting Guidelines document provides a
good guide for residents but perhaps should be
broadened to include trees. The playground in
28
Ard Banagher was well maintained and individual/
private gardens in this and all the estates were
noted for the quality of the landscaping works. The
planting at the entrance to Ardbanagher was brilliant
and of the highest standard with a fantastic mix of
perennial and summer floral displays. The recently
completed landscaping works at the rear entrance
to Ardbanagher was tastefully done and suitable for
this location. The new polytunnel and allotments
in Ardbanagher is noted as a new project and now
complete. This involved a huge amount of work and
from what I observed everything was completed to
an extremely high standard. I visited Culbanagher
Housing Estate and was immediately taken by a
beautiful shining specimen Multi stemmed Birch
tree to my left-hand side as I entered the estate.
Further investigation revealed that a resident had
cleaned the tree using soap wipes so not to have a
deleterious effect on the tree. Once again Bloom in
the Park or the Chelsea Flower Show comes to mind.
APPROACH ROADS, STREETS & LANES /
BÓITHRE ISTEACH, SRÁIDEANNA & LÁNAÍ:
The resurfacing and building works involving parking
bays at the green gates rebuilding sections of the
old famine wall and the fixing of footpaths are all
necessary and I note the involvement of the Local
Authority. The significant progress your community
has made in consulting with the local authority
considering village parking and surfacing is in line
with the ACA report. It would be brilliant if the
project could progress in the Autumn as suggested.
The relatively rapid progression of this important
project demonstrates the advantage of having
strategically important documents such as the ACA
report at an advanced stage. Ongoing maintenance
works involving repainting all fences gates and
lampposts and the washing and painting of signs
involves trojan efforts. All approach roads have
achieved high maintenance standards with grass
verges regularly cut and significant areas set aside
for biodiversity. Well done to all involved. The illegal
 IREL AND’S TIDIEST TOWN
parking issue and subsequent management of road
verges has tested your resolve. Your petition notes
a community that will be heard and thankfully the
kerbing works are now complete. The support of your
local Authority has made this possible and this must
be acknowledged. Your investment in tree planting
on the approach roads should be continued noting
that careful siting and subsequent management
of trees is important. The recently installed Horse
monument on the Monaghan Road is superb. It does
endear the visitor and is apt considering the rich
equestrian history associated and still to be found
in the village and the surrounding area. Here again
the support and partnership of Castle Leslie Estate
must be acknowledged.
CONCLUDING REMARKS:
What I found in Glaslough as noted previously is a
Community in Absolute Unity. No stone has been
left unturned in your pursuit of excellence. This
has been achieved considering your significant
inheritance from the past care for the present and
strategic plans to guide your efforts in the future.
The love that the people of Glaslough have for their
home-place is palpable. Well done to all involved.
SECOND ROUND ADJUDICATION:
It was a pleasure to visit Glaslough for the second
round adjudication. The village looked extremely
well, particularly the Diamond, with its interesting
Leslie Memorial Monument surrounded by a cluster
of other attractions. The village streetscape is
beautifully maintained and expressed with some
colourful flower displays while containing a number
of interesting, historical artefacts. Residential
street buildings have well-considered, muted colour
schemes; commercial buildings are expressed in
more vibrant colours. Glaslough contains many
buildings of architectural preservation importance
and they have largely been successfully conserved
over the years. However, inappropriate window
replacements were observed in a number of
locations. It is very encouraging to read that you
address this issue in your Architectural Heritage
Report.
The wildlife corridor, along the baseline of the
boundary wall, from the monument to the
wonderfully landscaped castle grounds, is a very
attractive feature. This nicely managed area with
its educational, information boards adds greatly to
the visitor’s enjoyment of a village stroll. St. Mary’s
National School contains a myriad of attractions,
including the nicely conceived ‘message in a bottle’
and horse features, presented on excellently
landscaped grounds. The Oakland Recreation Centre,
Wildlife Park, Playground and Picnic Area combine
to continue this high standard of presentation in
the village centre. You are to be congratulated
on your even attention to each of the categories
in the competition and on the encouragement
given to, and engagement with, your youth. The
Greener Glaslough Guide is a novel undertaking.
Junior litter patrols are now synonymous with the
village and the work they do under supervision is
excellent. The village has a good stock of housing
estates, with a varied character and design layout,
ranging from the Village Square and Newline at the
centre, to residential areas in the environs, including
Lisbanagher, Ardbanagher and Culbanagher; all
were visited. The standard of presentation is very
high, with some outstanding individual garden
displays being admired. The bilingual name signs of
the individual housing areas have a nice continuity,
set in landscaped areas of a high visual quality. The
Glaslough committee displays a very structured
approach to your engagement with the Tidy Towns
Competition. Your well organised campaign has
gained support from a wide variety of similarly
interested organisations and bodies. This year’s
adjudicator has comprehensively commented under
each category heading and I fully concur with this
report. Well done on your professional partnership
approach which is fully deserving of the high position
you continue to achieve in the competition.

 The Department of Rural and Community Development was established in 2017 to
facilitate economic development in rural areas through a range of programmes, and
to support communities, in urban and rural areas, to become sustainable and desirable
places to live, work and raise families.

The mission statement of the Department is;

“To promote rural and community development

and to support vibrant, inclusive and sustainable
communities throughout Ireland”
Our vision is that all communities will have the opportunity to grow and develop
economically and socially. To help bring this about, the Department works across
Government to create the conditions to support increased economic opportunities
and local employment in all areas of the country and to deliver schemes and
programmes that support the revitalisation of towns and villages and communities
both rural and urban.

The Department has been administering the SuperValu TidyTowns competition since
1995 and in that time has brought the competition from strength to strength. Last
year in 2018 the competition celebrated its 60th anniversary. It continues to be one of
the longest running community initiatives in Ireland and is the single most effective
and important sustainability initiative in Ireland.

Interest in the competition continues to grow with a record number of 918 entries
received this year which represented an increase of 35 on last year’s number, of
that increase 18 were first time entrants so in its seventh decade the competition
continues to attract new communities. In the past 2 years the Department provided
€2.8Million in funding direct to TidyTowns groups to assist them with their initiatives
in sustainability, climate action, waste prevention, biodiversity and a host of other
worthwhile environmental projects.

Funding is available from the Department under a range of schemes to assist rural
and urban communities. Funding schemes include LEADER, CLÁR, Town and Village
Renewal, Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure, Community Enhancement Programme
and as part of Project Ireland 2040 €1 billion Rural Regeneration and Development
Fund to be provided over the period 2019 to 2027. Further details on all these can be
found by visiting www.gov.ie
