The joint BBC/RTE production Story of Ireland, presented by Fergal Keane, was nominated for an Irish Film and Television Academy award in the Factual Programme category. The awards ceremony was due to take place on 11 February. The programme charted the history of the island from earliest times through to the present day.

Rubicon's Damian Shiels was involved in the segment dealing with the 1601 Siege and Battle of Kinsale, Co. Cork. The company wished the Story of Ireland team and Fergal the best of luck at the awards.
