Originally from Inishturk, Trish has strong personal and family ties to the island. She returns with her family as often as possible and values seeing her children develop the same love and connection to Inishturk.
Trish has served as a Director of Inishturk Community Club CLG since 2023 and currently serves as co-chair. She is passionate about giving back to her community and about ensuring Inishturk is well represented to ensure it continues to thrive as a place to live, work and enjoy in the years ahead. She has been closely involved in the development of the Inishturk 2050 Strategy and the 2025–2030 Action Plan, which provide a clear roadmap for the island’s future. She is also proud of the growing involvement of the next generation on the Board.
She is especially interested in projects focused on sustainability, biodiversity, wellbeing and community resilience, including initiatives such as the community bee project and wider actions identified in the strategic plan. She is committed to supporting a vibrant, resilient and sustainable future for Inishturk, its community and its traditions.
