The Murtagh Family

My name isMichelle! I live with my fiancé Kenny and our four girls, Rhea, jamie, casey and Quinn! I am a primary school teacher, who works with children between the ages of 4 and 12! Ken is a pharmacy technician and works close by! Our girls are big fans of music and theatre. They are involved in stage school and have been cast members in local productions of beauty and the beast, bugsy malone, cats, seussical the musical and sr act to name a few. They also take part in piano and guitar lessons. In addition to this our proximity to several beautiful beaches and parks offers ample opportunity to go on walks and picnics in our free time. Local running clubs and gymnasiums and indoor pools are also a favourite of ours when the Irish weather is not behaving! We love family movie nights and board games where we can spend some time together and catch up after a busy week. Waterford is a very historical city with lots to offer students, who may like mountain climbing, horse riding, visiting the old walls or the famous crystal factory! We have hosted for over five years with several local groups, and have always stayed in touch with out students who become like extended family!! We have been welcoming students from all over Europe for many years, many of the girls came from Spain or Italy, one from Germany and two Russian girls! It's a great experience for you and us. As a family we enjoy movie nights and games night, whee we can spend quality time together! We also love days out to various parks/mountains/beaches etc on school holidays or weekends! We enjoy going to watch our club and county play hurling and regularly attend local theatre productions and theatre in Dublin or cork! With four young girls between 12 and 2 our family time ranges and changes to suit everyone's needs at any given!! We are lucky to have so many amenities on our door step here in Waterford sand welcome all students as part of the family!
