Ciara has also worked as a HR consultant and has undertaken research with many public and private sector bodies and local authorities throughout the country. In 2005, Ciara was the recipient of a Ph.D. scholarship under the joint auspices of the Dublin Institute of Technology and the University of Limerick.
