This year they recognised Katja’s talent, hard work and inspiring influence and impact on Irish audiences.

On accepting her award, Katja Mia said: I am beyond thrilled to be the recipient of the 2024 Breakthrough Talent Award. It means the absolute word to me to have my achievements recognised by RTS Ireland and the industry. This is just the beginning for me, and I’m so excited for what’s next”.

Agnes Cogan, RTS Republic of Ireland Chair said: “this year’s winners exemplify the exceptional calibre of Irish television content that is continuing to elevate the standards of Irish television. We are a small but flourishing island, and I couldn’t be prouder of the outstanding programming we produce. On behalf of the RTS Republic of Ireland committee, I want to send my heartfelt congratulations to all nominees and winners for their outstanding work and to our esteemed panel of judges for making an invaluable contribution to this year’s awards.
