Mini Bio

Originally from Co. Leitrim, I now live in rural in Co. Sligo. But I always remember where I come from and live in the hope that Leitrim will beat Sligo in football soon! I live on a farm and love being out in the fresh air on the land, even in the rain.

I have travelled all around Europe, but Italy holds a special place in my heart. However, nothing beats being out in the hills in Leitrim and Sligo.

Favourite Place to Play

Westport, which is my mother’s hometown. I love the scenery, the smell of the sea air, the people and, of course, climbing Croagh Patrick on Reek Sunday.

Not a lot of People Know This

I am related to the royal family of Monaco. My maternal grandmother hails from Newport in Co Mayo, and her maiden name is Kelly – she is a direct relation to the late Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly.
