Gary Cantwell – Mr Chambers

I think I am a very focused person who has used the win of Mr Chambers to my advantage to be heard and noticed which has enabled me to set up my guidance and support site which is called InterGay

I think I also bring compassion and awareness in regards to the charity we are raising money for as with working in healthcare I have taken care of many patients with HIV and AIDS throughout the years and think the Newfill project is an amazing charity that I intend to keep fundraising for after Mr Gay Ireland Ends. I am an easy to get on with, trustworthy guy who is up for a laugh and is willing to work hard to get results!

Mikey Duffy – Mr Dragon

I like keeping fit. That’s a big aspect of my life.

Another big hobbie or interest of mine is history. This might bore people but I love It. I have a fascination with the Titanic and recently went up north to see the museum. I went with my mates. I just wanted to stay and soak it all in and read every detail and watch every clip and listen to every story. I will certainly go up again on my own to do this.

Also I have a fascination with Royalty. I don’t know what it is but I have nearly watch all of David Starkey programmes on the history of the British Royal family. At one point in time I could nearly name all who ruled England in a line for about 500 years. Also I’m have a keen interest of who every king and queen was since the Georgian period. Maybe its the teacher in me that I have a zest of old trivial knowledge

I enjoy socialising with friends, going to the cinema and all the things friends do together.
