Kildare County Council today announced details of the 2024 IPB Pride of Place Competition and is inviting expressions of interest from local community groups who wish to be nominated for the 2024 competition, in association with Co-Operation Ireland.

Pride of Place is an annual all-island competition run in conjunction with local authorities and aims to recognise improvements made by local communities to create civic pride in their area. It celebrates the efforts and endeavours of communities throughout Ireland with a focus on people coming together to shape, change and improve the daily lives of people in their communities.
