Ciara Byrne

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DENIED BY A COUNCIL MEMBER. Ciara Byrne-McKeough, (born September 13th, 1973) is an Easthallow nurse who won the Award of Excellence back in 2012.

Having lived in Easthallow since 2003, and working at Blackwell University Hospital just as long, many thought it was a well deserved and overdue award. Ciara is known among both her peers and her patients as "gentle, caring, and friendly" and often said that talking with her, even as a new patient is like "catching up with a friend you haven't seen in a few years."

Ciara is still currently working at Blackwell University Hospital, where she is the head ER Nurse on staff.

Early Life
Born September 13th, 1973, Ciara was the firstborn daughter and third child of Riona and Henry Byrne. She was raised with a strict Catholic upbringing, though as an adult left the religion. She has two older brothers, Conor and Cillian, to whom she does not speak to.

She met her husband Aiden McKeough in 1987 when she was 14 years old. The two welcomed their first child together in 1990, a son, Iain. They married in 1994. They welcomed their second child, Fallyn, in 1997.

Until moving to Easthallow, Ciara had grown up in Wicklow, Ireland. She later relocated to Dublin with her husband and son. In 2003, six years after the birth of their daughter, Fallyn, the family relocated to Easthallow, where the surviving members still reside.

Personal Life
She was married to Aiden McKeough until his untimely death in 2012. She has two children, Iain McKeough and Fallyn McKeough.

She is close friends with Teresa Ashburn, and has been for several years.
