The Board of both IRD Duhallow and Duhallow Community Food Services held their annual Christmas Board Dinner on the 16th December. This was a lovely night to come together and acknowledge the great voluntary work of the board members and the work that was achieved by both companies during the year. The team at Duhallow Community Food Services were on hand as always to serve a delicious meal to all in attendance. Also on the night some of the staff of both IRD Duhallow & Duhallow Community Food Services(DCFS) were celebrated for their years of service. In a time where Irelands work force has become more fluid and transient, Chairman of IRD Duhallow Michael Twohig noted it was a testament to have staff with such long service. He also noted the important employment companies like IRD Duhallow give in rural areas along with the many social enterprises which operate within its structures. On receiving their presentations staff reminisced about their work experiences, job satisfaction and how both companies have grown so much over the years. Here are to many more years of service!
