Wexford Town and Enniscorthy also earned Gold Medals, with Wexford gaining a Highly Commended mention and Enniscorthy also being Commended for their work. Gorey and New Ross each secured Bronze Medals, showcasing consistent effort and high standards in their community initiatives. Meanwhile, Ballindaggin was honoured with an Endeavour Award, given to the community that demonstrated the greatest improvement since the previous year—highlighting their remarkable progress in 2024. The results were announced at a ceremony in Co.
