The evening commenced with a drink reception, after which guests enjoyed a four-course meal with entertainment by a host of celebrities and stars including Keith Barry and Darren Holden. After dinner there was much dancing to legendary band Aslan.
Among those who attended on the night wereKeith and Lisa Duffy, Ronan and Yvonne Keating, Caroline and Denis Desmond, Morah Ryan, Liam Cunningham, Michael and Kim Wright, Michelle Heaton and Hugh Hanley to name but a few.
