The Insurance Institute of Cork Annual Dinner last Friday was a great success, bringing together members of the local insurance community for an evening that celebrated professional achievement and generosity.
Well done to President Ciaran O’Tuama for a very well-run event, and thank you to the event sponsors, Acturis, for their support.
