I loved the butterfly garden and bug houses in Church Lane, and every place was hotel with a variety of suitable vegetation like so tidy and orderly. The first round adjudicator buddleia, honeysuckle, chives, strawberries plus has given you a comprehensive report with an many others. A few “Large Whites” entertained increase in marks and it is my pleasant duty to 22 us flying around. The recycling centre was confirm this. Well done for a splendid effort. well presented at the Public Service Centre on Neil T Blaney Road with a public notice giving details of “Seven Steps to reduce our waste to make Letterkenny a cleaner and greener town”. There is a most impressive built environment in Letterkenny from the traditional old style shops which are very pretty to the modern outlets around the town. For instance there is a nice group of shops across from Bonner Engineering including Sony Centre with good urban trees on the footpath outside. Then we enjoyed the retail park the location of some large outlets such as Dunnes Stores, Homebase and Halfords plus others which are surrounded by substantial car parking facilities. There are wonderful streetscapes around the town notably in the Cathedral Square with nice views of the splendid St Eunan’s Cathedral and Conwal Parish Church which stands out with the excellent restoration of its spire displaying great workmanship of skilled stone masons. I loved the grey door and well kept graveyard which are enclosed with an outstanding traditional stone boundary wall. Attractive containers of flowers added sparkle and interest to this area. The work seems to be finished on the restoration of An Grianan Theatre, it looked really well and it too was adorned with lovely floral arrangements and street furniture. Contemporary developments such as John F Loughery & Associates, the Art Centre, the Garda Station and Gallagher’s Hotel fit in well with the older structures. I admired the Court House, Presbyterian Church and it is pleasing to see the Workhouse retains its original identity and now serves as the County Museum plus the extensive St Eunans College up at the top of the town. Reading your impressive entry form we see a huge commitment in those wonderful photographs showing many people proud to be involved to make Letterkenny a cleaner and therefore a lovely place to live in and visit, and we see examples of this all around ANALYSIS OF MARKS BY COUNTY
