New PPAI President attends opening

There was a great turnout at the official opening of the AIB Photojournalist Awards Exhibition in Drumcondra, Dublin recently.
It may have been the penultimate stop on the year long journey for the travelling exhibition, but it was also the first official engagement of newly elected PPAI president Michael Chester. Thanking AIB for their support over the last nine years, he added this has enabled us showcase the best of Irish press photography in local communities through the bank’s branch network.
Tom Durkan, branch manager, in Drumcondra who hosted the reception, said that he was delighted to have this year’s exhibition on show in the branch.
