Interest & Hobbies
A core interest of mine lies in Irish Traditional Music and Sean nós singing. I regularly attend the sessions and events that take place in Belfast. A local singing group I am part of will host some session through the year also., I have avid interest in the Irish Language. In previous roles I have planned and organised events for the duration of Seachtain na Gaeilge (Irish Language Week), including quizzes, information packs and drop-in traditional music sessions., In my spare time I enjoy going to the gym as well, recent years have seen my focus on weightlifting more than anything else.
