Laois County Council hosted a Civic Reception for Abbeyleix Tidy Towns following the town’s All-Ireland victory last year.
The group, led by chairperson Robbie Quinn, were welcomed to the chamber on Thursday, May 2.
Back in October, Abbeyleix beat off competition from 886 other towns and villages to be crowned Ireland’s Tidiest Town.
They also claimed the award for Ireland’s Tidiest Small Town.
The idea for a Civic Reception came last year at a Laois County Council meeting.
It was proposed by Abbeyleix Fianna Fail Councillor Joe Fennelly and roundly agreed to by all Councillors.
Photographer Michael Scully was present in the chamber for the Civic Reception.
