    From what I know I think Denis is actually also a club member of An Riocht.

    I would like to support any Irish athlete that may make Rio...... but......... I Just a few questions on this:

    How far off the qualifying standard for Rio are they?

    what does the money raised cover?

    Are they grant aided from the AAI?
