Tuesday 28 April saw Dromiskin Tidy Towns and St. Peter’s NS once again collaborate to carry out a village wide litter pick which covered the Commons Road, Railway Road, Whitehouse Road and the village centre.
Many thanks to all the children involved who did an excellent job. Thank you also to principal
Aoibheann Lynch, teachers Mr McComish and Mr Smyth and the TT volunteers who assisted.
Let’s keep Dromiskin litter free.
As part of the An Taisce Clean Coasts Roadshow to celebrate Earth Day, Dromiskin Tidy Towns and Paypal collaborated to carry out a successful beach clean at Seabank between Dromiskin and Castlebellingham.
Clean Coasts Regional Director for the North East, Aidan Gray, gave a talk on the impact of
marine litter and the power of community action in tackling pollution. David Thornton, Paypal,
explained how Paypal employees used their Community Impact hours to take time out from their jobs to make a real difference in a local area. Over 50 volunteers took part and a full skip of rubbish was collected including plastic, ropes,
tyres, metal and all sorts of bric-c-brac.
Many thanks to all who took part and a special mention to the Fairways Hotel who supplied
refreshments afterwards.
The 2025 regionals awards were held in the Royal Marine Hotel, Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin, on Monday 13 April 2026, hosted by this year’s regional winner Dalkey Tidy Towns. Presenting the awards was Minister for Health, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill.
