Clare Business Excellence Awards Gala – Full House!
While we look forward to a great night of celebration at Clare Business Excellence Awards next Thursday November 16, Ennis Chamber has confirmed that unfortunately there are no further tickets available.
CEO of Ennis Chamber, Margaret O’Brien confirmed, “We already have a waiting list in place, and now need to advise that we can no longer add to that waiting list. We are literally at capacity. We apologise to those businesses who have expressed disappointment. We have done our best to accommodate as many businesses as possible and all finalists who have requested tickets have been accommodated.”
