WorldSkills Ireland 2024 Award Winner
Congratulations to Ryan Rooney from Swords, Co Dublin who came first after beating off tough competition in the recent WorldSkills Ireland event which took place in the RDS, in the Electrical Installations category. Ryan was tasked with installing an electrical installation, in a demanding 3-day competition, competing against other competitors from around the country in front of thousands of spectators.
This competition reflects traditional, current and emerging technologies used in the electrical contracting industry. His project was judged on its electrical function, wiring, testing, commissioning and installation quality. There was also a separate fault-finding exercise.
Ryan works for his father’s company Applewood Electrical, attended both Phase 4 and Phase 6 of his apprenticeship in TU Dublin Grangegorman. The School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering wishes to congratulate Ryan on this achievement. It is a just reward for the hard work and commitment Ryan has put in to perform at the highest level of his profession.
