Peter Byrne CEO said:  Our Christmas lunch comes at the end of a very challenging year for business, one that saw energy costs and inflation add pressure to business recovering from Covid lockdowns and Brexit. We put all that behind us and enjoyed a great lunch hearing from local football heroes who play on the international stage. A good time was had by all, as many people got to meet for the first time in a long time, friendships rekindled and new ones made. South Dublin County’s Business Community can look to 2023 with confidence that we are located in the best part of Ireland to be successful.
