Kilkenny women praised at Network Ireland national awards
At the recent, Network Ireland Business Woman of the year awards, two Kilkenny women were highly commended for their incredible businesses and all that they have accomplished to date.
Ireland is full of talented and dedicated female professionals. They have successful careers, run successful businesses, but in many cases also juggle the needs of their families plus are involved in the community and carry out voluntary work. Network Ireland Businesswoman of the Year awards are designed to recognise the achievement of these women.
Valerie O'Sullivan, President of Network Ireland Kilkenny said she was so proud of Anne and Emer’s achievements. “To be at the awards, celebrating and supporting these women is inspiring. They have each achieved so much in their individual businesses and have leveraged their membership of Network Ireland to great success.”
Anne Healy, Biddy's Good Luck Horse Shoes was highly commended in the Creative Professional Businesswoman of the year. Anne is the owner of Biddy's Good Luck Horse Shoes, she makes beautiful Irish pieces of good luck for all occasions from genuine horse shoes which she sends around the world.

Emer O’ Keeffe, Spotlight Skills was highly commended in the STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) Businesswoman of the year category. Through her EdTech company founded in early 2020, Emer has developed innovative cloud-based software for school admissions in Ireland.
