Nominations are open so if you have someone in mind who is deserving of this accolade, make a submission and have your say
The Donegal Association is inviting nominations for Donegal Person of the Year 2024.
Each year, someone who has made a meaningful contribution to Donegal is honoured by the associations. The title is currently held by Moya Brennan, with past winners including Noel Cunningham, the people of Creeslough, Jim McGuinness, Shay Given and Moya Doherty.
The closing date for receipt of nominations is November 30.
Siobhan Shovlin of the Donegal Association Dublin said: “Any individual or any group may nominate a person – the main criteria being that the person nominated should be from Donegal and have made a significant contribution to the promotion of the county at local, national or international level. “Nominations may set out the reasons for the nomination and may include supporting documentation and endorsements from individuals and groups.”
Anyone who wishes to make a nominate can do so via www.donegalassociation.ie, by writing to The Donegal Association, 33 Upper Merrion Street, Dublin 2 or emailing [email protected]
