Nō Éire ōku tupuna,
I whānau mai au ki An Boireann,
I tipu ake au ki Cill Fhionnúrach,
I tae mai āku tūpuna ki Aotearoa i te tau 2005,
Kei Nga Motu au e noho ana,
Ko Déirdre De Nogla tōku ingoa,
Ko tēnei taku mihi ki ngā tāngata whenua o te motu nei,
Ka mihi hoki au ki ngā tohu o te motu nei.

Déirdre is originally from Ireland/ Éire and moved to Taranaki in 2005 after spending almost a decade working in overseas development, most recently in Timor-Leste post independence delivering Food Security and Livelihoods programmes.  Déirdre has worked across the Community, Government, and Public Sector in Aotearoa. Déirdre is an experienced Senior Manager with expertise in the fields of Biosecurity Surveillance, Emergency Response Operations Management, Public Health and International Development.  Working in the Drinking-water sector brings together several of Déirdre’s skills and interests and as CEO of Wai Comply she is proud to manage such a talented team of dedicated people.

Interests

Déirdre spends a lot of her spare time in water with her Husband Jonathan, Diving, Caving and Open Water Swimming. As a pair they like to go off the beaten track, take photographs and explore New Zealand’s natural environment.   Experiencing the outdoors and our natural history is important to remain grounded to manage the priorities of everyday life.  A keen Triathlete and Bikepacker, Déirdre has traversed the length of New Zealand several times on her bike enjoying the adventure.
