Yesterday afternoon, Westport picked up the big award at the Fáilte Ireland Tourism Towns Award for Ireland’s best large tourist town. This is the third year of the awards and Westport is following in the footsteps of Portmagee in Kerry, which won in 2012, and Kilkenny, last year’s winners.

Westport continued its success at the National Tidy Towns competition, the winners of which were announced on Monday at an awards ceremony in Dublin.

Westport made national headlines again last Friday at Fáilte Ireland’s inaugural Tourism Towns Award presentation in The Gibson Hotel, Dublin. The town was shortlisted with nine others for the final adjudication which was held in October – the other towns in the final shake down were Ballyvaughan, Clonakilty, Dundalk, Ennis, Kilkenny, Killarney, Letterkenny, Trim, and Portmagee, which won the overall title.
