When he swapped GAA for soccer, Martin O’Neill couldn’t have imagined the road it would take him on, European Cups with the legendary Brian Clough, cup final wins in Wembley and a managerial career that saw him mastermind some of Ireland’s biggest wins in the past decade. Martin will discuss all, including how he feels about his time as Ireland manager now that the dust has settled.

As she awaits her results, she will talk about what inspired her to take on this challenge and her plan to tackle the Leaving Cert next year!
