Cllr Richard Daly expressed his congratulations to all associated with Athy winning the Barrow Awards 2007.
The town of Athy and the many voluntary and statutory groups who have played a part in making our town and river so attractive must be congratulated. Athy has a unique position in having both the River Barrow and the Grand Canal flowing through its town. The river offers huge opportunities for tourist and recreation activities and can be regarded as a potential industry.
In recent years Trojan work has been done in organising Water festivals, rowing races and a Triathlon. Athy attracts many fishing visitors and our slipway is constantly active over the summer months. Exploiting the potential of the river and keeping the surroundings attractive and litter free have been the challenges faced by the many volunteers.
Winning this award gives recognition to the many people who have helped to promote our town and river
