‘Challenges’
Caroline Hennessy, chair of the IFWG addressed food industry guests at the event.
“Notwithstanding the challenges facing small food and drink businesses right now, we have a sector of which we can be extremely proud,” she noted.
“Today’s IFWG Food Awards are a celebration as we shine a light on exemplars of the country’s thriving, world-class artisan food and drink industry.
“But Ireland’s producers need support from government, from supermarket and restaurant buyers and from consumers who want to eat and drink exceptional and sustainably sourced Irish produce.
“From oysters to organic meats and chicken, traditionally made pastry and Ireland’s first and only vermouth, this year’s winning produce together with our chosen producers and innovators are the heart and soul of our domestic food industry and they deserve our support.”
