So, that’s it for another year.
The Smedias last night celebrated the brightest and finest of Irelands student population and win, lose or eh, just there for the laugh, a great time was had by all involved.
MC’d for the evening by the near-obnoxiously talented Oliver Callan, with his effortless charm and bottomless well of impressions, The Smedia’s 2015 will go down as the best one yet.
The winners and indeed the ones unlucky not to take home an award are all ones to look out for in the future, with the Smedia’s proving a consistent starting point for some of Ireland’s most emminent and cherished media personalities.
Congratulations and thank you to everyone who came and made the evening the success it turned out to be.
Check out a list of all the winners and, as always, watch this space. You’ll surely be hearing about them again…
