The Irish Planning Institute held their annual dinner in the Clarence Hotel, Dublin 1 on November 9th, 2012. At the dinner the Institute presented a number of awards to students and recent graduates to commend them for their work within the planning system.

The IPI awarded the inaugural Young Planner of the Year Award to Amy Hastings for her important work in both her planning practice and with the IPI. Two other young planners Colin Broderick and Aoife Doyle were shortlisted for the award and presented with certificates. All nominees were commended for their contribution to the planning system.

Also awarded on the night were student awards to DIT and UCC. DIT students won for their work on Greencastle SDZ which was completed between September and December 2011 by the 4th year Spatial Planning class as part of the masterplanning module. UCC students won an award for their project The Gowran Village Appraisal and was completed by a group of second year MPlan students.
