Social pictures: IMAGE x Pinergy International Women’s Day Lunch

Ahead of International Women’s Day, readers joined us in The Leinster for a networking lunch in partnership with Pinergy, where we celebrated women in Ireland who are redefining success.

Hosted by IMAGE Contributing Editor Melanie Morris, this dynamic panel brought together three of Ireland’s most influential changemakers who have broken barriers, challenged norms and driven meaningful change. We heard from Jo Linehan, editor of the CLIMATE supplement with The Sunday Times Ireland, Keilidh Cashell, founder of KASH Beauty, and professional rugby player Maeve-Óg O’Leary.

Through candid conversations, they shared how passion fuels their work, how resilience turns obstacles into opportunities and why purpose is the key to lasting impact. From increasing visibility in male-dominated spaces to advocating for real change, these women prove that success isn’t just about personal wins – it’s about lifting others as we rise.

The energising event set the tone for International Women’s Day, leaving attendees feeling empowered, connected, and ready to embrace their own definitions of passion, purpose, and power. The full ticket for the event went directly to The Daisy House, a long-standing charity partner of Pinergy.
