#167 The State of the Game: Irish Athletics with Cathal Dennehy

On episode 167 I am delighted to interview athletics journalist Cathal Dennehy. This is the first episode of a brand new series called The State of the Game where we discuss current topics and events across all sports. In this episode we discuss the state of Irish athletics, the future, the funding pathways and reality of being a professional from Ireland. We also highlight those at the top of their game excelling on the world stage and some of the next generation already making their mark wearing the green singlet. Cathal is a wealth of knowledge and as a former Irish junior cross country champion has the perspective of an athlete. He also shares insight on his career as a freelancer and how he got a photo on the track after the Olympics games at the Stade de France!
