Positive reaction from the organisers
Chairperson Artie Clifford feels that now, more than ever, it is essential to shine a light on food producers.
These are the 14th annual Blas na hÉireann awards and despite the very challenging situation, I am delighted to report a record entry level from producers right across the island...Congratulations to all the winners and to every producer who participated. It is always such a rewarding experience to see the wealth of exceptional foods being produced on the island of Ireland, and this has been the best year yet.
