Winner: Carrigtwohill, Co. Cork<\/strong><\/p>\n Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n If Carrigtwohill had a mission statement it would be to develop a true spirit of community among the residents and those working in the area so that all members of the community are supported by and supportive of one another. Carrigtwohill as a society is not aloof in its dealings with people whether it\u2019s in welcoming multinationals or new residents. In the shops, schools, businesses, clubs, organisations and community groups a great effort is made by all to create a sustainable and welcoming community. In fact, at a recent primary school\u2019s 60th anniversary celebrations, 32 different nationalities were represented. This is best exemplified by the St. Patrick\u2019s Day Parade where 90 mostly new volunteers organise a wonderful day for all the community. In the past many people would leave the area to attend parades elsewhere. 3000 people have stayed in their community to watch 80 floats and to interact, and talk to their friends and neighbours. <\/p>\n
