    On Monday Westport won the Irish Times award for best town in which to live - beating off competition from places such as Cork, Killarney, Galway.

    On Tuesday in an all-Ireland competition Westport won the award for best large town.

    Congrats to all involved in Westport in securing these awards.

    However it is now Friday - no further awards announced for Westport.- Westport people becoming impatient. Time for an enquiry?

    thanks, will look into that - there used to be a distillery, and said to be still some poitín in the vicinity, so there may be a basis for anothe industry there.

    Quiet weekend award wise but Rumour has it that Croagh Patrick will soon be upgraded to a class 1V relic as apparently JC himself spent one of his summers on a back packing holiday there before he took on the mantle of saving mankind.

    I heard he had a pint with Michael Ring in Matt Molloy's after he blessed the Greenway.

    It turned into a bit of a session as he did a loaves and fishes on it and they are still there. Michael Ring had to leave early as he had a funeral to go to.

    Just spent a week there. Not surprised it won awards. However it does milk it on prices in certain areas. For example Westport house. The pubs have suffered a little. The towers is closed in the Keys. Anyone who visits westport should take a drive to Bertra Beach

    They actually all got kicked out as Matt came in and said 'i dont care what your name is son, there will be no sandwich making in my bar'.
