Cashel Lions Club invites all local clubs, organisations and individuals to take a look around their local community and identify a person who has made a significant contribution to the quality of life in their local area in the last twelve months and to nominate this local hero for Cashel Person of the Year 2025.
The Cashel Person of the Year Award is an annual event, which commenced in 1987, and is intended to ‘recognise a person who has contributed to the social, cultural, sporting, artistic, spiritual or community life of Cashel and surrounding areas during the last twelve months’.

While previous service or contribution to the quality of local life is a factor in the award, the focus is also on a significant contribution made by the individual during 2024.
As planning for this year’s award intensifies, a spokesperson for Cashel Lions Club stated that, ‘the Cashel Lions Club Person of the Year Award is designed to give an unsung local hero a few moments in the limelight in order to say thanks and reaffirm the importance of their contribution to the quality of life in their community in the year gone by’.
The current Cashel Person of the Year is Jimmy O’Neill, who was selected for a lifetime of service to the Pitch & Putt Club in Larkspur Park.
