🏆 Congratulations to the Roscommon Intermediate ladies’ football team on their outstanding All-Ireland final victory over Fermanagh at Croke Park.

This is a tremendous achievement for the players, management team, clubs, families and everyone involved in Roscommon ladies’ football.

The scenes across the county as the Mary Quinn Memorial Cup returned home showed just how much this success means to the people of Roscommon.

Roscommon Chamber of Commerce is delighted to congratulate the entire team on bringing another major national title back to the county 💙💛

Very disappointing to see that flowers have been stolen from the beds maintained by Roscommon Tidy Towns on Racecourse Road.

A huge amount of voluntary time, care and effort goes into keeping our town looking its best, and acts like this are deeply disrespectful to those who give so much our county town and community.

We fully support Roscommon Tidy Towns’ appeal for the plants to be returned immediately and hope this matter can be resolved.
