Carolyn Hayes was named Athlete of the Year 2015

Good to see triathlon on RTE. Here's what was reported:

Carolyn Hayes was named Athlete of the Year at the Triathlon Ireland Annual Awards in Dublin on Saturday evening.
Limerick triathlete Hayes won the Sprint Triathlon, Standard Triathlon and Aquathlon National Championships in a hugely successful 2015.
Asked about her season highlight, Hayes said: “I have to say I’m honoured to be receiving this award. There are some incredible names on this award before me so I’m very thankful for this.”
Elite paratriathlete Catherine Walsh received the Caroline Kearney Memorial Trophy in recognition of her contribution to the development of the sport. Walsh is aiming to qualify for the Rio Paralympic Games after she burst onto the paratriathlon scene this season, rising to 11th in the world in just her first season.
“It would be an honour to qualify for Rio but the margins are so tight that if we get it right on the day, well just watch out.”
Other winners on the night included The Lost Sheep Triathlon, organised by Cork Triathlon Club which was voted as Race of the Year, and Darren Dunne, who won the Junior Athlete of the Year award.
