Watch: Dublin GAA football manager Jim Gavin leads airlift of 5,300 animals to impoverished families

Jim Gavin swapped one high for another yesterday as he takes to the skies as a ‘groomsman’.

Jim Gavin swapped one high for another yesterday as, just nine days after his third All-Ireland title win as Dublin manager, he takes to the skies as a ‘groomsman’ for 5,300 food-and-income-producing being airlifted to change the lives of almost 800 African families.

The Dublin manager is one of two ‘groomsmen’ on board the flight from Shannon as Irish international aid agency Bóthar carries out the biggest ever multi-species airlift of its kind in the world to Rwanda.
