Fitzpatrick 가족

We live in a large, modern, comfortable  detached home, 1km from rural village on edge of the sliabh bloom national park. We have a large garden with set of goals for soccer/gaelic football. We also have a basketball hoop which is used a lot by the whole family in the summer. The nearby village although small has great facilities. There are 2 primary schools and a secondary school. There are lots of clubs including basketball, soccer and GAA. There is a soccer pitch, all weather astro pitch, GAA pitch and community centre with basketball court. We are an easy going, loving family. Before settling down in Clonaslee with our family we travelled quite a bit. We lived in New Zealand for 6 years where our first child Caoimhe was born. We are interested in other people and cultures and think it would be great for our children to get to know children from other countries and gain an awareness and understanding of other cultures.  We are an active family and enjoy walking in the nearby sliabh bloom national park. Our children enjoy sports such as soccer, basketball and gaelic football. Caoimhe enjoys art, writing stories, songs and poems and playing music. She plays acoustic and electric guitar. Cillian is into photography and Tiernan loves robotics and baking. We enjoy family day trips to visit places of interest. In a typical immersion week with us we would spend some days exploring the local area for example exploring Sliabh Bloom national park visiting places such as Glenbarrow, Kinnity, Moniknew and the catholes to name but a few. Other days we would arrange day trips to places of interest. In the past we have brought our visitors cycling/walking/exploring in Lough Boora parklands, Stand up paddle boarding on the River Shannon, riding the Cu Chulainn roller coaster and other exhilarating rides at Tayto park (soon to be renamed Emerald Park) or for those who are less fond of adrenaline activities we have also brought our visitors to places such as the very pretty Kildare village for some outlet shopping or to visit places of interest in the city of Dublin. We are flexible and if there is somewhere within a reasonable distance that our visitors would like to visit we can try to accomodate this. As the children are involved in sport it is likely that there would be gaelic football or hurling matches to go to also. This is a great opportunity to experience our national sports which are a huge part of Irish culture.
