The Power Family

We are a family of five, 2 parents and 3 children living in Celbridge, Co Kildare. We live in a small quiet estate which overlooks the Castletown forest but we are very lucky that we are only 4 mins walk from the local bus stops and shops including an Aldi supermarket. The bus will travel to Dublin city centre, Liffey Valley shopping centre, the two local train station and nearby Maynooth town and Leixlip. Our children are 16, 14 and 12 years old. My husband and I are both work for the state but I am on a 3 day week for a few months to spend more time with the kids, organise the house etc. My husband and children are very involved in the local GAA Club and there is usually a match or training most days or evenings locally or somewhere in Dublin or Kildare. The boys played soccer since they were 5 but have finished up recently. I enjoy gardening, and walks and coffee with friends. My husband is a coach and holds an executive position on the local GAA Club and I hold an executive position on a local secondary school parents association. I have just finished facilitating on a youth leadership program in the GAA club. The boys play GAA football and hurling and enjoy PlayStation, Paddle Tennis and going to the local pitch and putt during their spare time. My daughter plays GAA football and camogie and enjoys her part time job, meeting up with her friends in her spare time, baking and going out shopping or coffee.
