Every year, Macra na Feirme and ABP Food Group hand out awards to outstanding leaders within the Macra organisation. To be eligible for a leadership award, the member must be a county officer.

Contestants are selected out of the recipients of the president’s county leadership award winners and go forward to the national competition.

Judging

The effects of leadership shown in increased membership, continuous and top-class programmes, and innovation in club and county activity are a major consideration in judging.

We congratulate winners Úna Ryan of Dundrum Macra, South Tipperary, Pauric Lucid of Causeway Macra, Kerry, and Roisin Lynch of Ramor Macra, Cavan.

We also congratulate the other finalists, Alan Twomey of Donoughmore Macra, Muskerry, Cork, Amanda Monahan of Ramor Macra, Cavan and Aoire Keane of Kinsalebeg Macra, Waterford.
