Awards recognise achievements of everyday Irish heroes

RTÉ broadcaster Brenda Donohue today presented the 2014 Hidden Hearing Heroes Awards honouring those who made a significant, and often unheralded, contribution to society.

Members of the public were invited to nominate their ‘hero’ who they felt deserved to be recognised for awards across seven categories such as ‘Age Is No Barrier’, ‘Triumph Over Adversity’ and ‘Unsung Hero’ and the winners were chosen by a panel of judges.
