at An Grianan Hotel, Burt, will look at the chef's
role in marketing and sourcing top Irish produce and
suppliers. It will also focus on food safety issues
and encourage chefs to use all the avenues of
training to develop their skills in order to

future. The day kicks off at 10am with an |

map through his multi award-winning Kealey's Seafood
Restaurant. The restaurant reopened at the start of
the summer season with his wife and business
partner, Trish, now at the helm.
The presentation of the bursary will be made jointly
