The awards were presented last night for the 2015 Fingal Film Festival at a ceremony that took place at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Dublin Airport.

The 2015 Fingal Film Festival ran from Friday 25th to Sunday, 27th September, and the organisers can give themselves a well-deserved pat on the back for a job well done.

After a busy three days of screenings and other festival activities, the 2015 Fingal Film Festival winners received their prizes at this year’s event on the Sunday night, hosted by comedian Eric Lalor.
