Episode description
We are back for another season of Under Construction with Chadwicks with a brand new host, Ireland & Munster Rugby Legend and Radio Presenter Donncha O'Callaghan. In this episode, hosts Pat Moore and Donncha speak to guests Kate Fahey and Amy O’Toole about the challenges of being a woman in the construction industry.
Kate and Amy share their personal experiences of working in a male-dominated industry and how they overcome the obstacles they face on a daily basis. They also share their insights on how to encourage more women to pursue careers in construction, including the need for better career guidance in schools.
Kate Fahey, was the youngest and only female tower-crane operator in the country last year when she was only 18.
