She was awarded the Special Tribute Award in the Irish Times Theatre Awards for 2015, 'in recognition of her extraordinary work as a producer of world-class theatre in the independent sector in Ireland'.[4][5] At the awards ceremony, a tribute video was played, which featured contributions from writer Enda Walsh and actors Cillian Murphy, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, Brendan Gleeson, Brian Gleeson and Domhnall Gleeson, amongst others.[6]

Her recent work includes the world premieres of Mark O’Rowe’s The Approach[7] (chosen by Lyn Gardner in The Independent as one of the top picks for the Edinburgh Fringe 2018[8]) and Asking for It,[9] of which the book’s author, Louise O’Neill, said: 'nothing could have prepared me for what I saw on that stage.’[10]
