Joe Casserley the UK co-ordinator of the event said “The Pride of Eireann Awards were inaugurated in 2008 and take place every four years to mark outstanding achievements within the Irish community, along with highlighting the work carried out by some of the lesser well know organizations and individuals in England ,Ireland and beyond. Previous winners have included Keith Duffy, Brendan O’Carroll(Mrs Brown), Eamonn Holmes and Gloria Hunniford to name but a few. Our winners come from many different areas such as the world of TV, Music, Sport, Media, the Irish community and charity organization’s.
