Amy Kelly, Kildare town SPONSOR: Dundara Television & Media
My name is Amy Kelly, I am 27 years old and from Kildare town. I am the eldest of four and currently working freelance as a researcher in the media industry.
I studied Gnó agus Cumarsáid (Business and Communications) in Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology. This was a surprise to most as a Kildare girl, was going into a class of Connemara locals!
During my final year of study, I was elected Vice President for Welfare and then President of GMIT Students’ Union. Upon leaving GMIT, I was elected to the national position of Vice President for Campaigns with the Union of Students in Ireland in 2017.
Having spent four years working full-time helping students, and three months travelling around Southeast Asia, I began my media career in November 2018.
I have a huge grá for the Irish language, Irish dancing, volunteering and travel!
Amy Farrell, Naas SPONSOR: McIvor Farrell Solicitors
My name is Amy Farrell and I am 21 years old. I live in Naas and I am the oldest in my family. I have one younger brother. I have a dog called Archie and a cat called George.
I am currently studying primary teaching in St. Patricks College Drumcondra. I will be in my final year this September coming and I can’t wait to be working with children.
I would love to work with children who have special needs during my career as I really enjoyed my placement in this area. I love listening to Irish traditional music like The Dubliners and Finbar Furey. I love speaking the Irish language too and chose to do it as an extra subject in college. I play piano and have reached grade 8 and I am trying to teach myself the ukuele for the summer. I love to read books too.
