Mr Maguire was also named the Overall Winner of IBYE for South Dublin.

IBYE Co-ordinator for LEO South Dublin, Amanda Mills said:

“Each of the winners and runners-up will share in an investment fund of up to €50,000 from the Local Enterprise Office to help grow and develop their business. The 3 category winners go forward to the Regional Finals in Dublin in January. The team in Local Enterprise Office South Dublin will be providing intensive supports between now and then to prepare them for the regionals and hopefully South Dublin will have a representative at the IBYE National Finals in March.”
