In 2012 Gavin Walsh took on a task that generations of Irish coaches had avoided. He took our junior development to the next level and through his dedication and support we now have Youth Team Ireland on the world stage.
Jack Tisdall has now taken over the role, Jack who has many years experience on the world stage himself along with assistant manager Shane Kavanagh are preparing to head to Portugal with the 2016 U18 and U23 teams next month.
