At the Irish Mining and Quarrying Society (IMQS) Annual Dinner Dance held in the Hodson Bay Hotel, Athlone on 15th November, IMQS President Ruairí O’Connor paid a wonderful tribute to two outstanding contributors to the Society, our own Siobhan Tinnelly, Director at TOBIN, and former TOBIN Director Sean Finlay.
Ruairí acknowledged their combined 30+ years of service on the IMQS Council, recognising the impact both Siobhán and Seán have made since joining the Council in 2009. Their leadership, dedication, and commitment to advancing best practice across the industry have been instrumental in shaping the Society’s work.
This is a well-deserved acknowledgement of Siobhán and Seán’s dedication, expertise, and leadership within the industry. 👏
We are incredibly proud of Siobhán’s continued contribution to TOBIN and to the wider sector, and we extend our warmest congratulations to both Siobhán and Seán on this meaningful recognition.
