Last week The Dubliner magazine presented its first ever Dubliner of the Year award to Brian O'Driscoll at an exclusive Grey Goose cocktail reception in Dublin's newest landmark venue, Residence Private Members’ Club. Residence also marked the occasion by awarding O'Driscoll the first honorary life membership to the Club.

The Dubliner chose to recognise O'Driscoll for his contribution to sport in Ireland and for representing Dublin on the world stage. The evening was presented by Newstalk's Eamon Keane with tributes paid by former Ireland Internationals, including IRUPA Chief Executive Niall Woods, alongside best selling author of the Ross O'Carroll-Kelly series Paul Howard. Guests including Amy Huberman, Brent Pope, Andrea Roche, Ryle Nugent and Ronan Ryan enjoyed a selection of Grey Goose cocktails.

Brian accepted the award on behalf of his team mates and thanked his family and his girlfriend Amy Huberman. Speaking at the event, he said, "I am delighted to accept this prestigious inaugural award, being a Dubliner means a lot to me."
