People of the Year Awards

People of the Year Awards

The People Of The Year Awards is an annual show in Ireland organised by the Rehab Group, televised by RTÉ television and hosted by Gráinne Seoige.

The show is a celebration of, about and for ordinary people who have done or achieved exceptional things in everyday life. This may mean overcoming an illness, being a hero by carrying out an act of selflessness or striving in the face of adversity and against all odds to improve the lives of one's fellow citizens.
