“I had to either continue with the travel programme or get my PhD thesis in, I decided I wanted to finish my PhD thesis on time,” she said at the launch of HKC’s new Irish language Intruder Alarm System.
Although the Gaelgoir misses the production, she has nothing but praise for her replacement, Angela Scanlon.
“It was a tough decision but Angela is doing a great job on it,” she told Goss.ie.
