Radharc did a programme on Glenties Tidy Towns in 1962 including interview with the Parish Priest seen walking in the parade above. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQqekPeNPWY "The Tidy Towns competition established in Ireland in 1958 has proven to be a great initiative, bringing communities together and encouraging residents to look after their town and keep their locality tidy. Glenties in County Donegal is no stranger to the competition and has taken the crown for tidiest town in Ireland for three years in row. This story from Programme 2 of Radharc originally broadcast in 1962, shows what it takes to win and find out from Glenties residents what sets them apart from other towns in Ireland."
