Sligo sailor is one of first women to represent Ireland in prestigious Admiral's Cup: ‘I never really thought I'd get those opportunities'

The 24-year-old, who grew up in Rosses Point before moving to Strandhill, is no stranger to breaking down barriers, and she will do that again later this month as she will become one of the first women to represent an Irish team at the prestigious Admiral's Cup alongside Cliodhna Connolly of Royal Cork.
