The Public Relations Consultants Association (PRCA) Ireland has appointed a new Board of Directors at its AGM, held at The Westbury Hotel in Dublin. The Association, which represents Ireland’s leading public relations and communications consultancies, reaffirmed its commitment to championing the positive impact of public relations in supporting Ireland’s society and economy.
Three new directors have been appointed to the Board of PRCA Ireland: Sonia Harris Pope of Harris PR, Niamh Hopkins of Legacy Communications and Martyn Rosney of Reputation Inc. They serve alongside Chair Brian Harrison of MKC Communications, Treasurer Claire Feely of Elevate PR, and Board members Kathryn Byrne of Limelight Communications, Sarah O’Connor of Wilson Hartnell and Michelle McCoy of Drury.
Speaking at the AGM, Brian Harrison said:
“The communications industry in Ireland is creative, commercially significant and increasingly influential. Agencies are helping organisations navigate complexity, build trust and contribute meaningfully to society. The PRCA will play an active role in championing that impact, promoting agency careers, reinforcing high standards and ensuring the sector is recognised for the expertise and integrity it delivers every day.”
The AGM also marked the conclusion of the Board terms of Justin Bowers of Keating and Susie Horgan of Springboard Communications. Martina Quinn of Alice Public Relations who served as the Association's Chair from 2023 until 2025 has also stepped down following the conclusion of her term.
