The Ireland InVOLved Awards with Specsavers is an awards scheme that makes a difference. It is about showcasing the work of volunteers across the country and celebrating Ireland’s volunteers!We will honour thirty individuals at an awards event on the 5th November, at a Dinner hosted by the Taoiseach’s Office in the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin. We will announce the ten overall category awardees and President Mary McAleese will present the award for the Irish Volunteer of the Year 2009. This event will celebrate the amazing work of all those who volunteer in Ireland.
