'Hold your qualification in the high esteem it deserves' – CISI Ireland Awards 2019

The CISI’s fourth Ireland Awards Ceremony was held at the Royal College of Physicians in Dublin, on 4th April.

We were delighted to welcome our winners, invited guests, National Advisory Council members, CISI Ireland President and our keynote speaker for the evening, Professor Diarmuid Hegarty, President, Griffith College.

Professor Hegarty made the presentations to the individual award winners, with Jim Winter, CISI Regional Director. Professor Hegarty spoke of education as ‘the building of a bridge, a bridge to other worlds, a bridge to other people but most of all a bridge to a better life’. He reminded us that ‘a professional award is not an entitlement of rank or class. It is earned through many hours of mental toil and diligent application’ and told the award winners to ‘hold your qualification in the high esteem it deserves’.

A drinks reception followed the presentations, with a chance for the winners to celebrate with their partners, work colleagues and CISI guests. We were pleased to be joined by Senior Management from Citibank Europe, supporting their winners and achievers.

Awards were presented to seven individuals for results achieved during 2018, with one of the winners receiving two awards on the night.
