The Panel Sponsors the second Ceiling Breakers Gala Dinner

The Panel were delighted to attend the second sold-out Ceiling Breakers gala dinner on the 10th of October as one of the key sponsors.

The event was opened superbly by event MC Sonya Lennon, who introduced Carol Andrews (BNY and Ceiling Breakers), and guest speaker Averil Power (CEO, Irish Cancer Society). Averil gave attendees updates on legislative changes related to maternity leave whilst undergoing cancer treatment and featured a moving video with three brave cancer survivors. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us ladies.

Sean Buckley (Auctioneer) was back overseeing the charity auction and raffle giveaway. At the end of the night, it was announced that the event had raised over €150,000 for the Irish Cancer Society, a fantastic achievement that will greatly support the work carried out by this charity. The entertainment was provided by Trinitones A Cappella Group from Trinity College.

Congratulations to all the Ceiling Breakers members for making this evening happen – Carol Andrews, Carin Bryans, Eve Finn, Fiona Flannery, Fiona Gallagher, Carmel Jordan, Katia Karpova, Elaine Keenan, Joan Kehoe, Helen Kelly, Sinéad Mahon, Melíosa O’Caoimh, Jackie O’Connor, Ann Prendergast, Laura Trimble, and Nicola Vavasour. A big thanks also to Beatrix Roppelt and Eve Kerton for coordinating everything.

The Panel, together with fellow sponsors, Matheson LLP, Davy, Fiserv, Northern Trust, and Primark, were delighted to show our support for such a great cause.
