r. In 2012, my position as Sports coordinator at Prosper Fingal was made redundant by the HSE due to cut backs. I was offered to be redeployed within the Prosper Fingal organization but the timing of the job change was leading to many personal difficulties, so I accepted a redundancy package. Prosper Fingal were reluctant for me to leave the company altogether, so they also seized an opportunity to try a new type of service delivery. They offered me the opportunity to continue the sports program as an outside contractor to the company. I accepted their offer and the new redundancy terms and set up Rocsports. The contract was for 32 hours a month for 42 weeks a year, with extra hours for events also. The whole experience has been a real life lesson and I don’t regret it for a moment. But in December of 2016, I made the decision to return to full time employment and was offered a Job with Praxis care in Ardee which then led me to be offered a job in St Micheal's House were I am currently now working in local day center. Disability and Sports are my two main passions and it is these areas that I will be looking to improve things from a political stand point.
