Flashback to September 2022 with Kerry Person of the Year, Dr. Patricia Sheahan accepting the Crohan O’Shea perpetual trophy from President of the Kerry Association, Michael O’Regan.
THE Kerry Association in Dublin is seeking nominations for the 2023 Kerry Person of the Year and for the 2023 Laochra Chiarrai award.
From the inaugural Kerryperson of the Year award to Dr Michael Carmody in 1979 to Dr Patricia Sheehan last year, the roll of honour of previous recipients is most impressive even on a national level and demonstrates the vast array of talented Kerry people from all walks of life.
Some of the previous recipients include the late John B Keane, Sr Consilio, Mick O’Connell, Dick Spring, Jimmy Deenihan and Mick Galwey. Previous recipients of the Laochra Chiarrai award include the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle Committee and the Listowel Tidy Towns Committee.

The individual selected as Kerryperson of the Year and the group selected for the Laochra Chiarrai award must have shown leadership, brought honour to and performed charitable or other services to such an extent that could be regarded as being beyond the norm of everyday life.
The closing date for nominations is 21 August 2023. Nomination forms are available on request by emailing info@kerryassociation.ie.
The winners of both awards will be announced in early September. They will be formally presented with their awards at the Kerry Association’s Oiche Chiarrai gala dinner in the Louis Fitzgerald hotel, Newlands Cross, Naas Road, Dublin on Saturday, October 14.
