WELCOME
We are delighted to be sponsoring the Sky Bar of the Year Awards once again, which recognise the tireless work that goes into making the on-trade in Ireland such a vibrant industry. Congratulations to all the finalists here tonight. You can be very proud of your achievements over the last 12 months. It is an honour to be here with you to celebrate all of the innovation, creativity and fresh thinking that you have brought to pubs and bars across the country. It is really important to take the time at evenings like these to recognise the brilliant work and effort of the people behind the fantastic venues that are achieving such success. Tonight also gives us the chance to look forward with excitement to what promises to be another great year for the Irish bar industry. At Sky, we are hugely excited about the next 12 months and we will be bringing our customers an unrivalled line-up of live sport to help bars drive trade. We are the home of football, with 159 Premier League matches and 30 matches from the SPFL Premiership, including every Old Firm derby, as well as offering 14 exclusive GAA games, plus coverage of the finals and semi-finals, top-flight rugby union and league action, golf, F1 and more. We are extremely proud to support these awards and play a part in rewarding the hardworking people behind the bar industry in Ireland. Good luck to all those shortlisted for an award, and we hope you enjoy your evening.
