Dublin’s social set attended the launch event and included TV3’s Debbie O’Donnell and Sinead Desmond, DJ and model Michelle Doherty and FM 104’s Sean Munsanje.

Guests dined sipped on champagne and canapés from Italian eatery L’Officina and were treated to an exclusive look at the canvas tote bag designed exclusively for Kildare Village by Whitney, with all proceeds going to Barretstown children’s charity.
