Sunway Thanks Suppliers and Media for 50 Years of Support

The attendance at the Sunway 50th Anniversary thank you lunch was testament to the high esteem in which this Irish-owned tour operator is held by all its suppliers. The venue was the Mulberry Garden  Restaurant in Donnybrook, created by the late great Ernie Evans, and still one of the best.
