And it's also been a rollercoaster journey, a campaign, losing the opening round to Ballincollig.
0:49
Yeah, we got off to a rocky start.
0:51
I suppose we had a relatively good league.

We managed to get over the line in the league final against Grenada, but we were carrying a lot of injuries off the back of a long football campaign last year.
1:02
We got to the county final and a lot of lads didn't finish up until the 28th of December, so we were carrying knocks right up until the summer.
1:10
Into the Balling College game, yeah, disappointing, but we made a couple of changes, regrouped, and we knew it wasn't going to define our season, and thankfully from there we've won every game since.

3:43
Yeah, I'll be honest, it's Diarmuid Mahonis.

How do you cope?
13:09
It's fine, really.

You just get up and you get on with it, really, and that's the way to do it.
13:13
We're the first people that people meet when they come into the airport, so it's in part, it can be a highly stressful environment for people.
13:18
I mean, dealing with the public, I suppose, is one aspect of it, but dealing with the public in an airport can be kind of a next level up because people are very stressed.
13:29
They're travelling with young kids, they're travelling with time constraints.
13:32
and you have to remain calm at all times.

The shifts here, they vary, but early mornings, what time do you start?
