[QUOTE="An Tarbh, post: 184108"] He's starting regularly with UCD in the AIL. He won't be Irish qualified for another year (I think) since going to school in Blackrock while living in Russia during the holidays meant that he hsn't served the 3 years residency rule.

I know that he didn't go to the World Cup in Dubai in 2006 because he was deemed ineligible.
