General Interest

General
NATIONALITY SWITCH
She was born and raised in Australia by Irish parents, and in 2010 opted to represent Ireland after being disillusioned with the lack of state funding and support in Australia. "I was able to pick up dual citizenship there [Ireland] and I never really got the support here from the VIS [Victorian Institute of Sport] and Cycling Australia, so when we got offered the opportunity to race for Ireland we took advantage of it. In the major events like the world championships, Commonwealth Games, Olympics, you are only allowed one rider from each country in each event, so being Ireland's number one rider, I sort of get priority in what I want to race. There are heaps more races I can contest being part of Europe." (irishtimes.com, 06 April 2016; abc.net.au, 22 Aug 2011)
