Apprentice Candidates
Aoiffe is a Marketing Executive in Dublin who studied Journalism in Griffith College.
The worst moment of her life so far was when she had to put her labrador down after 13 years. So far in the show, Aoiffe has come in for criticism for her sharp tongue and constant manicured look. We can already see that there is certainly no love lost between her and Geraldine. This girl certainly does not lack confidence.
