🎤 Meet Our Co-Presenter: Alan Shortt!
We are thrilled to announce that the brilliant Alan Shortt will be co-presenting the Ireland Blue Light Awards this August at the Clayton Hotel, Dublin!
With over 35 years of experience spanning broadcasting, comedy, and executive coaching, Alan is a familiar face across RTÉ, BBC, and Channel 4. He’s shared stages with everyone from Sir Richard Branson to Jimmy Carr, and now he’s bringing his trademark energy, wit, and warmth to celebrate Ireland's frontline heroes.
Alan is incredibly proud to honour the extraordinary folks of our emergency services—the people who show up, every single day, when it matters most.
🚨 THE CLOCK IS TICKING!
Want Alan to read out your teammate's or crew's name on that stage? You have fewer than 4 days to make it happen.
