We heard with sadness of the passing of Frank Hayes last week.
Frank worked as the Corporate Affairs Manager in Kerry Group for almost 30 years before retiring four years ago. A member of PRII for many years, he was very highly regarded amongst the media and the PR industry in Ireland. We send our deepest sympathies to his family, his friends in PR and journalism, and former colleagues. The funeral was held on 30 August.
