The nominations are in for Person of the Year Awards

MORE than 180 individuals, groups and businesses have been nominated for Tallaght Person of the Year Awards 2023.

The much loved community led awards recognise and appreciate the power of the community heroes and volunteers in Tallaght – the individuals, groups, organisations, sports clubs and businesses that contribute positively to Tallaght, or the accomplishments of Tallaght natives on a national stage in their chosen field.

The awards run by Tallaght Community Council (TCC) ensure there is a strong and visible recognition of Tallaght locally and indeed nationally.

The awards ensure Tallaght stands tall and celebrates the many talented Tallaght natives and community champions.

A diverse selection of nominees has been put forward for the awards ceremony, which takes place in the Civic Theatre on Sunday, November 12.

Roderick Smyth, Chair of TCC 2023/24 said: “We were very pleased to receive over 500 nominations this year, for 180 nominees.

It is not a focus on quantity in our awards, but ensuring we shine a light across Tallaght to spotlight the very many who deserve to be acknowledged.

“We would like to thank everyone who took the time to nominate. In a busy world, it is important to stop, reflect and appreciate the person, club, team, coach or business in your part of Tallaght you admire and value.

“A nomination is a practical but powerful way to show gratitude and acknowledgement to others.

“In our awards, the focus is on every nominee. They all get recognised, receive a certificate of appreciation, are listed in the media, the awards brochure and from the stage on awards night.

“We hugely value every nominee of the 2023 awards.”

Tickets for the awards night are now on sale from the Civic Theatre box office for €40 plus booking fee.

Looking forward to the awards, Tara De Buitléar, PRO and Marketing manager said: “We strongly urge all nominees who wish to attend the awards ceremony to purchase their tickets from the box office.

“The demand always exceeds supply, please don’t be disappointed and miss out.

“The final word goes to the many Tallaght businesses who partner with us enabling us to host these awards.

“Thank you for your continued support to us and these very positive awards.

“Go raibh maith agaibh.”
