It was an incredible night filled with music from Sorcha Richardson, a selfie station where guests could strike their best 'IWD pose', wine from Tesco Finest and goody bags filled with treats from the RTÉ Guide, Just Eat, Spotlight, Flahavans, Keoghs, and LaRoche Posay.
Plus, each of our panelists received a beautiful bouquet from Flowers Made Easy.
Big love to all our friends who gave us some beautiful gifts for our guests and lovely audience at our special International Women's Day event 💜💜💜💜#IWD2019 #RTEHourglass @flowersmadeeasy @SpotlightWhite @JustEatIE @RTE_GUIDE @FlahavansIRL @Keoghsfarm @LaRochePosayUKI pic.twitter.com/kuy4DL66xS
