TV3's soap takes three categories - including the People's Choice award - while comedienne Horgan takes home two gongs
Last night saw the winners of the 2015 IFTA Gala Television Awards announced at a glitzy ceremony in Dublin.
Amanda Byram was on hosting duties for the event, which will be broadcast tonight on TV3 at 9pm.
Indeed, the Ballymount crew will most likely be watching over a glass of champers, as their soap Red Rock took home three awards - including the People's Choice award, the first prize to be determined by a public vote.
Another big winner was Sharon Horgan, who picked up a pair of awards - Female Performance in a Soap/Comedy, and Writer for Soap/Comedy - for her series Catastrophe.
Brendan O'Carroll was honoured with the lifetime achievement award, while his Mrs Brown's Boys was crowned Best Comedy.
