Although the individual is very popular and famous Irish celebrity who has excelled in their professional career for years, I think many in attendance will be surprised by just how much work they have put in to other projects as well most of which might I add is done quietly and under the radar - a quality I admire very much. It will be an honour to shine a light on this work and acknowledge their contribution to society publicly with this special and richly deserved award on the night, a night which is shaping up to be THE business and social night of the year in Tipp!”
