The Patrick Kavanagh Centre enjoyed great success at the recent Chambers Ireland – Excellence in Local Government Awards ceremony recently broadcast online on Thursday 18th November last, scooping the prize in the ‘Supporting Tourism’ category.
The Excellence in Local Government Awards, supported by the Department of Housing, Local Government & Heritage, showcase best practice in local government and recognise the skills, hard work, innovation and enthusiasm within local government.

Kavanagh’s legacy with renewed interest in his writing and the significance of Inniskeen as inspiration for his craft.’
