A Winning Streak Experience<br />

By Orla Carroll, Person Centred Plan (PCP) Facilitator<br />

Dominic Conneely, who lives in Oldfield Group Home,<br />

expressed an interest to go and visit the RTÉ Winning Streak<br />

programme as one of his Person Centred Plan (PCP) goals.<br />

Dominic has watched Winning Streak since he was very<br />

young and never misses it on a Saturday night. Oldfield staff<br />

emailed RTÉ on Dominic’s behalf stating his request. The<br />

RTÉ producers were very happy to accommodate Dominic’s<br />

request and they invited Dominic and a friend to be members<br />

of the audience on the Winning Streak programme on 8<br />

December 2012.<br />

Dominic chose to bring his friend, David O’ Sullivan, and on<br />

8 December Dominic, David and staff members, Orla Carroll<br />

and Sarah O’ Connor from Oldfield went to the RTÉ studios in<br />

Dublin. We attended a party before the show and afterwards<br />

we were shown around the Winning Streak studio. Dominic<br />

and David met with the show presenters, Geri Maye and<br />

Marty Whelan, who were very friendly and allowed us to get<br />

lots of photos with them. The show was great fun and we<br />

all had a brilliant time cheering on the contestants. Dominic<br />

really enjoyed the show and we later watched a re-run of<br />

ourselves on TV.<br />

At Winning Streak, December 2012<br />
