Abbotstown

Never.

So, um, and then Andy comes in and, and the Irish view, we, we buy a new facility, so we move everything really work-wise to, to the high-performance center in Abbotstown, and it's a real separation between there and, and the hotel.

So Paul, he comes back in, and he was looking around, and he was going, "What is going on here?" Like, fellas hanging around-

[laughs]

... and you can fact-check me.

Go to VIR if I'm wrong, but I remember, 'cause I was running the mile after her that night in February I think it was in the indoors in Abbotstown where she ran 4:57, and she looked so strong and I was like, "Flip, I have to tell Cassie about this." She ate up the track that night, and to run sub-five as a teenager is unreal.

But then 9:46 for the three, was that in the Tulchan? Was that 9:46 in the Tulchan?

Yeah, 9, 9:47 in the Tulchan-

Yeah, I'm getting ready for the under-23s.

We're heading back into Abbotstown next week, so the camp's fully going to be underway then.

For the last two or three weeks, we've been getting started out in Jobstown.

A lot of the time, the biggest problem Irish fighters have is winning their Irish title.

So I got into all of that with Dan, and we also looked ahead to the Austria game on Thursday night.

He was also out in Abbotstown this morning for Hamir Helgrimson's press conference.

So lots going on, on the Ireland front.

And then in part two, Ronan and Conan popped into studio, and we discussed Manchester City and the Premier League finally delivering their verdict, guilty on all charges, what the future holds for Man City, what the future holds for the Premier League, um, pretty much everything in that regard up for discussion in part two.

We can now listen to the on-site archaeologist, Derek Callagher, explaining all about the ring fort and artefacts which were found and which has made this particular site such a treasure trove of historical significance.

I'm here in Abbotstown, Sheep Hill, as part of the Ishgar Arran's Greater Dublin Drainage Scheme's works.

And during the pre-works, we found an archaeological site, and we've come back in to investigate this.

What we see here is an early medieval rink fort.

We're meeting the players.

We're meeting referees on this Wednesday night in Turles and we're meeting them again Thursday week in Abbotstown.

So there's a whole consultation process here going on.

between all the different stakeholders here.

Um, um, we've launched our global Ireland Football Foundation, which is our bolt-on to, you know, government support, something that we can drive increased philanthropic investment into Irish grassroots facilities.

We have an ambition to realize a national training center on Abbotstown.

We have our six pitches there, but we wanna have the ancillary facilities to wrap around it, treatment rooms, conference rooms, gym, all those things.

Yeah.
