In the adjudication report the judges stated ‘well done to Kildysart Tidy Towns Committee for their achievements in 2015. The streetscapes of Kildysart presents well and the central burgundy railings and street furnishing and lovely hanging baskets provides a good focal point in the town centre.  Individual homes and business premises are most often excellently presented and it is important to consider how they link together.  ……There were some lovely hanging baskets in the centre of Kildysart and on nearly every business premises in the town.   Everyone seems to have come on board and is happy to have a floral display on their premises.  There was a nice community information board on the Main Street…. The mix of business and residential homes along the Main Streets of Kildysart was good to see….. There is a wonderful planted bed of mature shrubs at the bottom of the Main Street.  Likewise there is another wonderful bed on the Kilrush Road.  The gates and brightly painted boundary wall of Kildysart GAA were very nicely presented so great work to the GAA for this.  The new seat of reflection looked very well sitting within the new stone wall …..It was good to explore your community and see the improvements and efforts made throughout the town.  You have worked hard and made good progress Kildysart throughout 2014/5 – keep up the good work.’
