‘Quite unique!’

On the podium, Mark paid tribute to the entire Gazette team, singling out Garrett, Nuala, Catherine and Valerie in the Gazette Admin office, and advertising manager Seán Ó hOisín for their creativity, dedication and superb teamwork in producing a magazine whose chief goal was to be as relevant and readable as possible to its readers – the members of the legal profession.

He praised the invaluable input of the Gazette Editorial Board, led by Chairman Michael Kealey, in initiating article ideas and in providing vital direction on the latest legal developments. These awards belonged, also, to the numerous authors who were a fundamental component in the magazine’s success.

Keynote speaker and former Director-at-Large of Hello! magazine, Sally Cartwright, singled out the Gazette for particular praise, saying: “I love the marvellous individuality of the Gazette and its extremely high editorial standards. It’s quite unique!”
