Meanwhile, Sr. Eileen Fahey the founder of Aiséirí won the prestigious President’s Award.
In 1983, she set up the treatment centre for those struggling with addiction and their families.
Sr. Eileen commented:
“What a brilliant awards ceremony that was, I am overwhelmed if I’m honest but so very grateful to receive this award from the County Tipperary Chamber of Commerce. I really feel that I am accepting this award on behalf of all the people who have been involved in Aiséirí since the early days, this award is for them. If this award helps to raise awareness that there is help available to anyone struggling with addiction and they take the first step towards recovery as a result of it then it will be all the more special indeed, a miracle no less and I have seen many great miracles happen at Aiséirí.”
