Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted January 24, 2024 Journalists Posted January 24, 2024 The Irish Thoroughbred Breeders' Association (ITBA) has postponed its annual National Awards as a mark of respect following the death of ITBA chief executive Una Tormey on Tuesday. The awards dinner had been set to take place this coming Saturday, January 27, at the Heritage in Killenard. A rearranged date will be announced in due course. A statement released through the ITBA from chairman Cathy Grassick on Wednesday morning read, “It is with great sadness that I advise you that our esteemed friend and colleague Una Tormey passed away yesterday after a short illness. She was a beautiful person and left a lasting impression on everyone that met her. We in the ITBA are deeply saddened by her loss. Our thoughts are with Una's family who have asked for privacy at this very difficult time.” Tormey, 41, was appointed chief executive of the ITBA in December 2022 following a two-year stint with the association as membership coordinator.
