The Kilkenny Young entrepreneur of the year has been announced.
33-year-old Mel Clohosey from Urlingford scooped the award for his business proposal SocialFeedia.
Mel Clohoseys business idea “SocialFeedia” is a concept to build a trusted community marketplace for people to list, discover, buy and supply freshly produced local food – online, from a mobile or from door-to-door service.

As well as the county title he also won the category for Best Idea Category and an investment fund from the local enterprise office worth 7 thousand euro.
The other main category winner on the day was Leanne Nolan in the Best Start-Up Category.
