Susanne O’Sullivan
Committee Member

First rowed a currach in 2015, and joined the club, despite her fear of water. Has enjoyed many hours currach rowing at the club, around various beauty spots of Ireland and the islands and a competing in the odd ras; and thanks to the organisation of others in far away lands…”I love it. I was involved in Ents for a couple of years, and am now the captain of vice!”

Martha Dennehy
Treasurer

 

Martha has been a member of Naomhoga Chorcai for many years now.
Loves meeting up with people for Rowing, Craic and plenty Fresh Air. Trips away and a little bit of As Gaeilge.

Deirdre Looney
Secretary

Delighted to be back after a brief hiatus and to take up the position of club secretary 2024 and 2025. See you on the water!

Colin O’Donnell
Training Coordinator

First ocean to city race was over 15 years ago. My rowing philosophy is that if you’re safely enjoying rowing and having the craic with other rowers then you’re doing it right.
