Cathriona O’Donnell

Mini Bio

I grew up in Sligo and lived in Galway for four years. I have two dogs who love the beach, so you would usually find me there or going for a long walk in the woods. I love to read, cook, and travel, and I have just finished my post-graduate degree in Social Policy (very useful in my current role!). I enjoy learning new things and visiting new places.

Favourite Place to Play

I have such fond memories of Galway – it’s so cultural and vibrant. I also really enjoy visiting Ireland’s islands, like Inis Meain and Inishbofin. It’s lovely to hear Irish being spoken natively. I feel very lucky to live in Sligo, where we have so many great beaches right on our doorstep. If only the weather was as good!

Not a lot of People Know This

I once played the fairy godmother in a play of Cinderella!
