Summary:STANDARD "Everything is aimed towards getting to Rio," adds [Dara Snell]. "There's huge commitment. When I started the players wore their own gear at training and that sort of thing but the standard in the years since from everyone involved has gone through the roof.

"People hear 'Paralympics' and they think 'Special Olympics' and so they don't think it's for them.

"There's a development squad for young players to come through to the senior team and there's some real talent there," adds [JJ Glynn]. "Some of the lads wouldn't look out of place at a League of Ireland club."
