IT was a busy two days down at the Brandon Hotel as hundreds of IT Tralee students got their reward for years of hard work.

Hailing from all over the county, country and beyond, 950 men and women received their qualifications in the presence of family at the annual graduation ceremony.

We were there on Thursday and Friday to capture the special time for them (see previous photos here).

Scroll down for photos below (we’ll have more photos on Sunday and Monday)…
