Leading communications firm, Healy Communications, has announced two new senior

commercial podcast production.
Healy Communications has appointed Mary O’Neill and Fiona Corcoran as Client Managers,
bringing the number of people employed by the company nationally to eight. In addition to
these appointments Ciara McDonagh has been promoted to the role of Client Director at the
