The winners of this year’s Kilkenny Business Awards will be revealed later this evening.

The annual awards ceremony takes place in the Lyrath Estate Hotel from half past 6 this evening, and will be MC’d by RTE’s Mary Kennedy.

With 46 nominations in 20 different categories, Chamber of Commerce CEO, John Hurley says they have some fantastic nominees this year.

However, they are competing with another big event today – Ireland take on the All-Blacks in the Aviva from half past 5.

Speaking to KCLR news, John says there is a way people can both watch the match and attend the awards ceremony, just arrive at Lyrath early to “get the best of both worlds”
