Community champions honoured at Nenagh Municipal District awards 2025
At the recent Nenagh Municipal District Awards, there was a special presentation of a Nenagh 800 medal by the Chairperson of the Nenagh 800 Committee, Rosemary Joyce, to Donal A Murphy in recognition of the massive contribution he has made to Nenagh over many years, including with Nenagh Olympic Athletic Club, Nenagh Heritage Centre, Relay Publications and the Ormond Historical Society.
The annual Nenagh Municipal District Awards Evening was held on Thursday 20 November 2025 at the Civic Offices, Nenagh.
Awards were presented by Cathaoirleach of Nenagh Municipal District, Cllr Phyll Bugler, on behalf of the members of Nenagh MD to 21 recipients across seven different categories.
The awards seek to recognise the efforts of groups and individuals who make a significant contribution to the Nenagh District through what they do and through their achievements.
The awards span the works of voluntary committees in areas as such as Tidy Towns, Residential Estates, Heritage Groups and Burial Grounds. They also include particular achievements in the area of sports and a number of individuals who are involved in fund-raising and community working quietly in the background.
