The 2019 KPMG/Irish Independent Property Industry Excellence Awards seek to recognise the individuals, businesses, products and services that are driving innovation, embracing technology and contributing activities that are shaping the future of the Irish property industry.
They are open to everyone working within the property sector and are judged by representatives of all professional bodies, including CIF, SCSI, IPI, RIAI and IPAV amongst others.
Annually, the awards night sees 1,000 professionals convene at what is the largest gathering in Ireland of such a cross-fertilisation of industry participants, to celebrate what is now known as the Oscars of the Irish property industry.
Louise was also the architect for the€10m Solas Nursing Building on the IT Tralee North Campus
