There might be a certain amount of vanity in constructing a website about one’s self, but I have the link on my CV so it is either take the link out of the CV or write about myself…. so here it is. Born in Clare, live in Clare, and most likely will die in Clare, but is that it? Well not really. I like travelling and have itchy feet (not a skin disorder!), which is somewhat alleviated by my job. I work with a rural development NGO, Bóthar, and since their work is mostly located in Africa and Eastern Europe, I get the occasional trip to exotic though poverty stricken places. Before my quest in attempting to tackle world poverty, I spent six years in the University of Limerick, four years for a degree and two years doing research for a Masters (which I still have to finish!). I made a lot of good mates there, but it would not be inaccurate to say that it was the best of times, and also the worst of times. I will expand should anybody wish to contact me for clarification. Finally, my life revolves around sport. I used to play Gaelic football for Monaleen in Limerick, one county championship won, but now I have returned to my roots with Shannon Gaels in Clare. Tullycrine Celtic tolerate my attempts at association football, here's to avoiding relegation this year! |
