My childhood was full of happy memories outdoors with my brother and sister. Tríona is 15 months older than me and Seán was two years younger than me. Sadly, he passed away a couple of years ago.

We moved to Australia when I was three; I lived there for seven years. Like lots of people now, Mum and Dad were emigrating to get a better life for us.
