List of Rehab People of the Year Award winners explained

The Rehab People of the Year Awards was an annual awards ceremony in Ireland organised by the Rehab Group, televised by RTÉ television.

The People of the Year Awards were given to people who "bring joy and light to the lives of others or have supported others in their darkest hours".[1] The nominees were chosen by members of the public. The winners were then chosen by a panel of adjudicators, composed of leading members of the media, voluntary sector and business community.

The awards had for many years been held in December of each year. The 2018 edition, awarded for nominations made in 2017, was held in April, having been postponed from February due to Beast from the East weather event. No ceremony was held in 2019.
