Programme Management Team Catherine Morley (Director) Catherine joined the team in October 2009, following eight years as Director of Clarity RDT, the independent social inclusion support agency. Prior to this, she managed a number of social inclusion programmes including the Integrated Services Process and RAPID. Having recently relocated from Cork, she is a true Dub and now lives in her native inner city with her young son - Jacob. She thinks she will be able to cycle to Sandyford from there every day and that she will be fit as a result! catherine@southsidetravellers.ie Sally Connors (Community Health and Well-Being Programme Manager) A graduate of our Education programme and founder health programme team member, she took up her position as programme manager in January 2009. Quite simply, Sally does "magic" in her work with our community. Sally lives in Leopardstown with her husband Johnny and their three children. She is also the "go to" person for interior design tips in the centre! Patrick Nevin (TASK - Adult and Community Education Programme Manager) A graduate of Trinity College Dublin, Patrick joined the team in April 2011 to manage our new Adult and Community Education Programme focused on Travellers and their settled counterparts aged 18 - 24). Patrick lives in Dublin with his wife Dee and their three children. patrick@southsidetravellers.ie Elizabeth Davidson (Training and Employment Programme Manager) Elizabeth joined the team in June 2011, having a number of years working in the training and development sector with a specific focus on Travellers. In addition, she has also worked extensively on certification and authentication with FETAC. She lives in the hills with her family and some bees. elizabeth@southsidetravellers.ie Trevor Stewart (Finance and Administration Manager) Following a career in the public service, Trevor joined the team in 2006 and put "financial management manners" on us. Responsible for the management and administration of all of our resources, Trevor has focused on ensuring that we achieve excellence in all of our procedures and practices. He is renowned for his guest appearance at the 2008 Christmas party - you'd better ask him! Alison Corr (Children and Young People's Programme Manager) Having left the corporate sector to pursue Youth Work Training in NUI Maynooth, Alison found herself on work placement with us and has never looked back. She has been instrumental in the development of targeted and specific supports to Traveller children and young people in the county. Also, she is least likely to say "Come Dine with Me" on Tuesday nights (ever again!). Geraldine Dunne (Assistant Children and Young People's Programme Manager) Instrumental in the establishment of our Youth Programme, Geraldine has been with the organisation for many years. More recently, she stepped aside from her role as youth service co-ordinator. She lives with her five children in Leopardstown and is a keen horsewoman, a skill she shares with the young people in our horse riding programme. Geraldine is renowned in the organisation for asking the right question at the right time. She has recently completed her training as a facilitator and will spearhead our new Traveller Culture Awareness programme. geraldinedunne@southsidetravellers.ie Niamh Crudden (Get Vocal Programme Facilitator) A graduate of University College Cork and the University of Limerick, Niamh joined Southside Travellers in September to head up our Get Vocal Programme. Most recently, she was employed in the Cork Traveller Visibility Group as Education Worker. Niamh works across our Health and Well-Being and Advocacy and Accomodation Programmes and shadows Sally - our Health and Well-Being Programme Manager in various strategic roles throughout the county. In her new role, she will be leading on our community profiling exercise and the development of our strategy for Older Travellers. Katy Quayle (Advocacy and Accomodation Team Leader) Katy joined the organisation in September as Advocacy and Accomodation Team Leader having recently completed a community services training programme. A keen horsewoman and ex-theatre producer, Katy brings significant administrative and management skill to the programme and has already designed, developed and implemented an information management system which allows us to track progress in relation to the resolution of accomodation issues at a county wide level.
