 * Speedy Keep This Seán O'Connor is a different Seán O'Connor to that in the article of the previous AFD. This one is a member of the Limerick hurling team which will be in the All-Ireland Hurling Final next month. Per WP:N, "Competitors who have played or competed at the highest level in amateur sports" are notable. Mentioned in this news story. There are a lot more mentions out there.

 * Comment Being on a county team is the highest level a player can reach in Hurling and Gaelic football. Regarding the amateur sport part, neither of the games are professional, which leads to frequent disbelief when you have to explain to someone unfamiliar with the sports: "Yes, they are playing in front of 70,000 people and, no,  they aren't being paid for it.". I'll see if I can find a few more references to add. But, just to reiterate  - and I remember the previous AFD, although I didn't participate in it - this isn't the same person.
