To have the option to share the field and the changing room with my more seasoned sibling (Niall O'Brien) for quite a long time was something I'm unimaginably thankful for. My proudest minutes and most loved recollections were all playing before Irish fans whether in Ireland or abroad, so thank you for the amazing help throughout the long term."
