It is with great pleasure that we announce Deirdre Kelleghan as the IFAS Astronomer Of The Year for 2007. Dee is President of the Irish Astronomical Society (IAS) and Public Relations Officer for IFAS. Apart from carrying out these duties, she also holds a tremendous passion for sketching celestial targets with her telescope, which she then shares with us all here on the boards. As if all this wasn't enough, she spends extensive time organising outreach programs explaining the night sky to children in the Dublin & Wicklow area. Without a doubt, a thoroughly deserving winner!
