Catherine Callaghan

I’m Catherine Callaghan. I live in rural County Carlow. In my life to date I have served an apprenticeship, been a mature student, a full time carer for my parents and elderly uncle, and a stay at home parent who created her own successful wellbeing business on the side. I am a regular contributor to the Wellness section of Irish Country Living in the Farmers Journal and am a committee member of Carlow Mental Health Association – constantly working to promote positive mental health in my community and county.

For the past 5 years I have been elected and re-elected annually as the Chairperson of my local Camogie club, I pride myself on ensuring that in our club, the girls and women of my community have a positive place to go to build friendships, have fun and stay healthy. I was selected as Carlow Camogie Volunteer of the Year in 2019 and elected as Leinster Delegate in 2022 while serving on the Carlow County Camogie Board. I coach four Camogie teams at club (and in 2022 at county level also) and currently lead from the front by playing as fullback on our adult camogie team.
