A record attendance of over 370 hosts and guests were treated to a fantastic 150th Anniversary Business Lunch, kindly sponsored once again by MMPI, in the RDS on Friday 20th of January
Both speakers were excellent with Andy Farrell, interviewed by Nigel Osbourne, communicating in great detail his management style and the values that underpin that.
Paul Coulson’s chat, with the excellent Richard Curran, was so good that one could hear a pin drop in the room with many guests commenting they could have listened to Paul’s insight and experiences all day .
The feedback from all has been very positive with some describing it as the best business Lunch they ever attended . In addition, a successful raffle and auction raised much needed funds for three very good causes:
The Ringsend and District Response to Drugs Addiction Treatment Centre
Neurodiversity Ireland, Sandymount
IRFU Charitable Trust
Many thanks to all who attended and for their generous contribution to the raffle – we look forward to seeing you all next year!
We are also very grateful to Peter MacCann of the Merrion Hotel, Aidan Marsh of Beauchamps Solicitors and Michael Kearney for their contribution to the raffle prizes.
Sponsors are key to the running of an event of this nature and thanks to Bryan Moloney and MMPI for their sponsorship of the Lansdowne FC Business Lunch for the fifth successive year.
Finally our thanks to the RDS and the unique Concert Hall Room for hosting it, to MC Mano Ryan and President Mick Dawson as well as the Business lunch committee led by Ciaran O’Reilly
