Best of Clare Awards – 2023 Winners 

Glitz, glamour, style, and well-deserved accolades at the Best of Clare Awards 2024!

Clare FM’s Best of Clare Awards with Ei Electronics, Shannon’s largest employer and Global leader in the manufacture of Home Life Safety Products. Ei’s fire and carbon monoxide alarms have been keeping Irish families safe in their homes for generations.


Clare FM’s Best of Clare 2023 recognised and celebrated the outstanding individuals and organisations within County Clare during 2023. Over six weeks, listeners voted in their thousands.

The awards spanned several categories, with winners determined through public voting. This democratic approach ensured that the people of Clare had a say in identifying and honoring the best businesses and individuals in the county. Each winner received a prestigious plaque to display outside their establishment, symbolizing their excellence and contribution to the community.

This year, the local Hero award went to Ian Bolger and Darren Byrne.

These awards not only serve as a platform for recognition but also foster a sense of unity and camaraderie among the people of Clare. The initiative aims to bring the community together and showcase the exceptional talent and dedication within the county. Through public voting and the presentation of plaques, the awards serve as a symbol of appreciation and gratitude for the contributions of individuals and organisations to the local economy and community.
