Cliona O’Leary bio:
“My name is Cliona O’Leary and I am 26 years old. I live on my family farm in a rural village called Boolavogue in Wexford. I am currently in my 3rd year of college in SETU in Wexford studying for a Bachelors of Science in Sustainable Farm Management and Agribusiness. I am currently completing my 6 months work placement in John Cullen Grain in Ballymurn.”
“I am heavily involved in Macra at club, county and national level on various committees within the organisation. I love country music and dancing and I’m never too far from a dance floor. I also love the local bingo that’s held for our local GAA club every Friday in Oulart. I’m very lucky to have a great group of friends and family who have helped me to achieve any goals I set my mind to. I would like to thank especially Tommy Williamson farm and landscaping supplies for sponsoring me,” her bio reads.
