Northern Ireland's 'Greenest' Tenant Recognised

An Omagh woman has been named the Northern Ireland Housing Executive's 'greenest' tenant in its annual Energy Competition.

Barbara Davies received a voucher for a short break in the Slieve Donard Resort and Spa in Newcastle.

District runner-ups also received an energy saving gift pack.

This year's competition was sponsored by the Slieve Donard Resort and Spa and the Energy Conservation Unit.


The Housing Executive has a dual role as the Home Energy Conservation Authority. Its goal is to make Northern Ireland more energy efficient through a range of energy saving measures.

Omagh District Manager Ivan Armstrong said: "I am delighted that Mrs Davies has won the overall prize for the Province and I would like to thank her and all the tenants who entered the competition.

"The Housing Executive is dedicated to improving Energy Efficiency across all tenures in Northern Ireland and has developed various schemes, many based on partnership working to achieve this," he added.

The Housing Executive has continued to promote low energy light bulbs as a means of saving on fuel bills.
