The President’s Dinner 2026 & The LIBA Awards 2026
The President’s Dinner 2026 & The LIBA Awards 2026 took place last Friday, October 23rd, at the Garryvoe Hotel, East Cork. Held by the Little Island Business Association (LIBA), the event annually celebrates the remarkable contributions of over 1,100 businesses and 12,500 employees who drive the growth and success of Little Island – Cork’s largest business district. This year, LIBA also honoured 18 civic, charity, and community organisations to highlight the invaluable work they do and the support they give their communities.
