Our Team


Deirdre Quinn

Deirdre Quinn

Deirdre loves seeing the smiling faces of the children in the centre, and the happy relaxed faces of the mammies and daddies as they know that their child will be happy in the centre overnight. She’s a walker and a talker! So her time off is spent walking the beach with her two daughters and their dog and calling into friends for tea and a chat! She’s a self-confessed home-improvement show addict and loves the colour purple!

Sascha Duffy

When Agnieszka isn’t glued to the Xfactor she spends her spare time travelling, reading, spending time with family, walking on the beach or spending time in Markethill Park. She has two favourite colours – green and blue! To relax she likes to watch comedy films, documentaries or shows like Two & a Half Men and Friends. When it comes to cartoons, she’s a fan of the classics like Mickey Mouse and the Smurfs. Robbie Williams, Olly Murs, Sixto Rodriquer and Vanda Shephard (Ally Mc Beal film) will always get her on the dancefloor! Her favourite part of the job is learning new skills and doing activities with the children.

When not refereeing soccer matches himself, sports mad Garrett likes nothing more than watching Dundalk FC play. It is easy to know what his favourite colour is red – the colour of Louth and Man Utd! When he gets control of the remote, it’s Gladiator, Deadliest Catch or Fast ‘n’ Loud that will be on the TV. If it’s cartoon time, it’s Top Cat or Tom & Jerry! Garrett loves seeing the children who use the service enjoying themselves and having fun.
