The funding from the Irish Sports Council both given directly to me and distributed through my national governing body allows me to train as a full time athlete. It facilitates a very professional approach to my training and preparation for competition through funding for full time coaching, training camps at world class venues, sports science, physiotherapy, sports psychology and a host of other services. I would like to say thank you to the Irish Sports Council for their continued support, without which a professional approach to my sport would be impossible.
