He represented Ireland in field hockey at junior level. (irishnews.com, 27 Feb 2019)

He had a rib injury in the early part of 2019. (irishnews.com, 27 Feb 2019)

He began rowing in 2012 at Queen's University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. (bbc.com, 16 Dec 2019)

He was inspired to take up rowing after watching the 2012 Olympic Games in London. "Sport wouldn't have been a huge thing in the house where I grew up. We never supported a soccer team or went to rugby matches. It's something I've struggled with in the Irish team because there are some people who are rowing experts." (bbc.com, 16 Dec 2019)

To win a medal at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (Instagram profile, 04 Jan 2020; echolive.ie, 23 Dec 2019)

Philosophy:

"There's so much more to life than going to the Olympics. It's a measure and marker of a person's success but success is found in everything in life." (bbc.com, 16 Dec 2019)

JUGGLING CAREERS
He graduated from Queen's University Belfast in Northern Ireland with a degree in medicine in 2018. The following year he took a leave of absence from his job as a doctor at Belfast City Hospital to focus on the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, and had planned to return to the post in December 2020. However, in April 2020 he started working at Daisy Hill Hospital in Newry, Ireland, following the postponement of the Games due to the COVID-19 pandemic. "I had to go back [to work] as soon as possible. And also it means I can chip in and do something worthwhile. It's like your marital vows. In sickness and in health. This is the sickness part of the healthcare system. This is when you have to step up and do your bit."
