The Killarney Coffee Cup Project has won another major award.
The project scooped the Best Environmental & Ecological prize at the LAMA All-Ireland Community and Council Awards this weekend.
Last July, Killarney became the first place in Ireland to ban the use of single-use coffee cup.

Since then, the equivalent of over 1-million disposable cups per year - or 18.5 tonnes of waste - have been kept out of rubbish bins.
Local coffee shops and hotels began their collective effort to get rid of single-use cups after complaints they were blighting some of the area's most visited beauty spots.
