The students of the Kerry ETB/Radio Kerry Radio Broadcasting Course claimed two awards, including a gold for their short feature Cluas Chiarraí and a bronze in the Digital & Social Innovation category.
Tim Moynihan, presenter of Terrace Talk and sports commentator, claimed silver for Sports Broadcaster of the Year Local/Regional, while there was also a silver for the Radio Kerry newsroom in the News Story category with When Mistakes Cost Lives, which was coverage of the misread scan controversy at University Hospital Kerry.
