Seems to be most noted for his rugby playing. However, all the teams he's played for seem quite minor. There's a mention of him playing for Ireland under-21s but the ref. is dead and I cannot find other confirmation. There's a mention of semi-professional play for a French club, but the name isn't given and the ref. brings up a 404. I have not found noteworthy mentions of him in Google searches.

 * Delete While the Internet Archive does have a copy of the ourfc page used as a reference, it only lists him as being an Ireland U21 player in the player list and does not expand on that. I have not found anything else to back up that already meagre claim to notability on Rugby grounds. Statbunker shows someone of that name playing 5 matches for Henley Hawks on 2005 and the ourfc website ref shows at least 2 appearances for Oxford university. On their own neither of those is sufficient to show rugby union notability. Seems to be a minor bureaucrat working in Brussels with nothing showing wider notability and references are all minor from college sources. noq (talk) 14:10, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
