We’ll be talking to the other lads in the coming weeks and Barry is the first one, so it’s great to have him over the line and we’ll be speaking to the others after the Longford game.
“The building blocks have to be in place and that’s what we’re trying to do, to build a stable foundation for the future and for next season. I think next season will be a massive season and we need to have the right sort of people here and I think keeping the young lads is key.”
