She later studied at the University of Wales and became a psychologist. She has stated that, as a psychologist, bilingualism and social constructionism seemed linked, reflecting on how "assumptions of our reality are shaped and moulded by shared understandings, and the impact of culture and language on these constructs”. She has said that she writes in Irish to remind herself of who she is, and to balance herself between two linguistic worlds. Breathnach-Banwait has published in Tinteán (Australia), in An Gael (New York) and in Comhar (Ireland). She is associated with Bobtail Books, an Australian publishing house devoted to bilingual publishing.
