Aoife Carrigy, Chairperson of the Irish Food Writers Guild and Foodie Destinations Judge said: “The Foodie Destinations Award is an important testament to just how far Ireland has come in developing an authentic, unique and sustainable food culture. It is also a timely recognition of the dedicated graft of so many far-sighted local communities in order to claim their place in that developing food culture, and make it their own for the generations to come”.
