The shortlist for the 'best places' in Ireland has been revealed and there's certainly some good spots in there!
The Royal Town Planning Institute Ireland's Ireland’s Best Places competition celebrates some of the most attractive and inspiring places in our country.
And while it's extremely hard to pick just Ten amazing places from Ireland to squeeze into this list, they managed to come up with a shortlist for the award, and they're looking for the public's help in order to chose the ultimate winner.
Marion Chalmers, Chair of RTPI Ireland said: "The competition has reminded us of the passion we have for places we love. The finalists, places clearly loved by the public, have been protected, carefully planned or improved by the planning system. I encourage everyone to get behind their favourite place to ensure it wins."
The 10 finalists are:
- Abbeyleix, Laois
- Cobh, Cork
- Cork City Centre, Cork
- Dingle, Kerry
- Grand Canal Square, Dublin
- The Great Western Greenway, Mayo
- Greystones, Wicklow
- Kilkenny City Centre, Kilkenny
- Lough Boora Parklands, Offaly
- Tully Cross, Galway
