"EY, through Entrepreneur Of The Year, has for the last 20 years, shown its commitment to supporting and encouraging the next generation of entrepreneurs and business owners in Ireland. This is something we can really get behind," said Bill Malone, TV3 Group director of programming.

Kevin McLoughlin, an EY partner, said: “Operating as an all-island competition allows us to work with the best entrepreneurs Ireland has to offer. We hope the series gives viewers a unique insight into some of the opportunities and challenges, such as Brexit, facing entrepreneurs in Ireland.”
