Louth – Megan Ferguson

Hi my name is Megan Ferguson and I am 19 years old. I was born and reared in The Cooley Peninsula, Co Louth. I live in Cooley with my only sister, Órla, my parents, Pat and Caroline, and Buddy the dog. I currently work full time in the Four Seasons Hotel Carlingford at banqueting events. I love my job in the hotel as I work on the most important day of two people’s lives, I also enjoy working with the public and getting to know the visitors that come to Carlingford and the peninsula. I am passionate about my local GAA team, Cooley Kickhams, whom I have played for since I could get football shorts small enough to fit me. I have captained my local team and played for my county and nothing gives me more joy than pulling on a jersey and pouring everything I have into a game. As is the same with many young people from the country areas jiving is my favourite night out. There is nothing better than a packed dancefloor listening to the likes of Jimmy, Nathan, Mike, Derek and others. I have really enjoyed wearing the 2016 Louth Sash so far and have loved representing the Louth Rose centre at various events across the county and further afield. The support that I have received from people far and wide has been unbelievable and I cannot thank those people enough. I look forward to the rest of the year as Louth Rose and cannot wait to get on the bus and head for Tralee. Hope to see you all soon, Megan.
