Duggan has spent nearly 30 years working across multiple roles in civil engineering and telecoms. After graduating as an engineer with a BSc in Construction Management from Waterford Institute of Technology in 1992, Duggan worked as an Engineer on a range of major civil projects in the Republic of Ireland.
