The second Goss.ie Women of the Year Awards will take place on Sunday, October 1st, with well-known broadcaster and entrepreneur Gráinne Seoige hosting on the night.

The star-studded event will honour women across multiple genres, including business, sports, the arts, social justice and more.

Xin Gin are proud sponsor of the ‘Local Hero’ category, where Goss.ie readers have nominated inspiring women in their lives.

Whether they’ve made a big impact in their community or inspired others by overcoming personal trauma, this category helps to shine a light on Ireland’s unsung heroes.

There are five shortlisted nominees, who have received applications from family members, loved ones, and members of their community who all felt these women deserve to be honoured.

The winner will be announced at the awards ceremony on October 1st, where guests will be treated to a reception of Xin Gin and tonics, before sitting down for a three-course luncheon in the stunning surroundings of the Royal Marine Hotel, Dun Laoghaire.
